I'm checking this in, and will shortly be sending the 1.4.9b beta release
announcement.  There are enough changes that we need some feedback and bug
fixes before releasing 1.4.10; for example, I intend to work around
mingw's broken strtod.

2007-05-29  Eric Blake  <[email protected]>

	Beta Release 1.4.9b:
	* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump version number.
	* NEWS: Describe changes since 1.4.9.
