-08/01/2016 Overhaul to entire build process using a dialog script - Thanks Ray-V

-2016-12-27 Updated dolphin, amarok, tdenetwork, k3b[-i18n], tdegames to cmake build.
-           Added Apps/abakus and Apps/filelight. Put Apps in program name order in BUILD-TDE.sh
-2016-12-27 Added Apps/{knmap,kscope,tdesudo} and Misc/graphviz
-           Modified BUILD-TDE.sh and tqt3.SlackBuild for ld.so.conf option
-12/27/2016 Added moodbar in Misc, as optional dep for {tde}amarok           
-12/27/2016 Added libcarddav. Added an alternate dektop file for dolphin that just changes 
-           the icon name from d3lphin to dolphin. You can undo this in the SlackBuild if this is undesired.
-
-2016-12-29 Added Apps/{kvpnc,ksensors}
-01/01/2017 Update license year and add tde-slackbuild project as I no longer do this alone.
-           Commented out the desktop file change to d3lphin I previously made. Will leave it for an option
-           for the users who want it, like me. -Thorn Inurcide
-01/02/2017 Added option to choose between Clang or GCC as your compiler.
-           Added ltoolupdate.sh for the scripts using configure in TDE. This allows changes to it to effect
-	   all the scripts at once instead of going through each and every one of them. And frees up several lines
-           in the SlackBuilds.
-2017-07-13 Issue 40 - koffice.SB, build 3. Fixed karbon build failure caused by configure options used for Sl14.2 ImageMagick build.
-07/18/2017 Added avahi-tqt as an optional dep for users with avahi on their system already

+=========================================================
+
 Building the development version from git sources
 
 The individual TDE apps can be cloned from Trinity git, so the build is set up to do that - except for individual language packs of tde-i18n. The whole tde-i18n download is ~1x10^6 bytes, so to reduce that, wget is used to download individual tde-i18n-$lang packs as they are not git repositories.
