Thanks to Stefan Gehn, this release brings support for Windows
back into sync with the latest gkrellm and he will be providing windows builds.

As an example of the new plugin export data functions, you can check out the
GKrellM2-show_ip plugin which is updated to export IP addresses for display
on net monitor charts (using $A variable).  I'll get other builtin monitors capable
of displaying exports in the next release.

Changelog:

    * Upgrade to GPLv3
    * Jindrich Makovicka patch: mail check for Sylpheed .claws_mark mark file.
    * Stefan Gehn large set of patches for Windows:
        1) Makefiles updated for Windows 2000/XP builds under MinGW/MSYS.
           Drop win9x support.
        2) Add support: SpeedFan sensors, tcp port stats for the Inet monitor,
           theme transparency, 
        3) Add Vista detection, but running under Vista needs testing.
        4) Improve the plugin interface.  Added static libgkrellm.a for easier
           plugin porting.  New files: src/win32-libgkrellm.c,
           src/win32-plugin.c server/win32-gui.c  server/win32-gui.h 
           server/win32-libgkrellmd.c server/win32-plugin.c
           server/win32-plugin.h.
           Pass callback pointer to win32 gkrellmd plugins.
        5) Various #ifdef WIN32 unix/windows compatibility cleanups, new
           gkrellmd_get_timer_ticks() and gkrellmd_ticks() functions, trayicon
           handling.
