Change log for timelimit, the process time limit tool

1.8		2011/04/13
	- getopt() returns -1 on error, not EOF [roam]
	- add a simple test suite compatible with Perl's TAP framework [roam]

1.7		2010/09/30
	- implement microsecond wait time precision using setitimer(2)
	  Debian: #597824, reported by [tomaszn]
	- report the actual error condition if the waitpid() call fails [roam]
	- do not allow SIGCHLD to interrupt waitpid() after the kill [roam]
	- remove the warn() function that is never used even on platforms
	  that lack the err(3) family of functions [tomaszn]
	- remove the cvs_id string

1.6		2010/06/26

	- honor CPPFLAGS [roam]

1.5		2009/10/30

	- add the '-p' flag to propagate information about the child
	  process being terminated by a signal [teddy, roam]

1.4		2008/11/12
	- correct options parsing on GNU systems - do not let timelimit
	  grab the option arguments passed to the executed program
	  Debian: #505140, reported by John Hasler <jhasler@debian.org>

1.3		2008/09/03
	- fix the $Ringlet VCS keyword in the source files [roam]

1.2		2008/08/22

	  with 0 [cberg, roam]
	- define _GNU_SOURCE to properly use the Linux header files [roam]

1.1		2007/12/07
	- move the manual page from section 8 to section 1 [mario]

1.0pre3		2001/06/09
	- actually add the -q flag to the getopt() arguments (ARGH!) [roam]

	  [roam]

	- removed CC, CFLAGS initial settings from Makefile [alpha]

	- added the '-q' flag to not output messages about signals sent
	  to the child process [roam]

	  the specified command, as suggested by alpha [roam]
	- changed the default compiler to gcc, as suggested by alpha [roam]
	- added timelimit.8 manpage [roam/alpha]
