  + Interactive mode honors scripts
  + SuSEconfig is now called with GID root (no longer GID fou4s)

  saved as /etc/fou4s.conf.rpmnew when updating. This behaviour will be kept
  as long as possible from now on.

  from the keyservers (some people behind proxies had problems with this).

    wget option)
  + Patch descriptions with missing number after Size: won't crash fou4s now
  + The "Provides" line in the patch descriptions is no good seperator

* Option parsing cleanups

0.2.1, Tue Apr 16 2002
* Bugfixes for 0.2.0:

    line - fou4s uses the "Provides" line now for seperating packages.

0.2.0, Tue Apr 16 2002
* Bugfixes for 0.1.0:

* More wget options
* HTTP Server support
