* 0.76 release.
  Closes: #342849, #316253, #360129, #383417.
  Also closes: #299026, #344572.

* manpage spelling fixes, from Claus Assmann <ca+tinycdb (at) esmtp.org>.

* little mods to allow compiling tinycdb by C++ compiler,
  from Olly Betts <olly (at) survex.com>.

* use program_invocation_short_name on GLIBC, (modified) patch
  from Dmitry V. Levin <ldv (at) altlinux.org>

* manpage fix (cdb_findnext() prototype),
  from Dmitry V. Levin <ldv (at) altlinux.org>

* (somewhat silly) GCC-4.x "signedness" warnings fix, modified patch
  from Dmitry V. Levin <ldv (at) altlinux.org>

* more signed vs unsigned char* fixes in various places

* Makefile: always build libnss_cdb.so with libcdb_pic.a, no nss-shared
  target: to avoid extra dependency from /usr/lib/.

* Makefile: use map files for lib*.so, with explicit list of exported
  symbols. This, in particular, avoids exporting of libcdb symbols by
  libnss_cdb.so.

* mark all internal routines as internal_function (defined as
  __attribute__((visibility("hidden"))) for GCC)

* Makefile: add tests-shared, to use cdb-shared for testing

* Makefile: allow to specify which binary (shared vs static) to install
  in install target, by using INSTALLPROG variable

* Makefile: pass -DNSSCDB_DIR=... to compiler when building .lo files,
  to allow setting of system config dir (/etc by default) on command line.
  For nss_cdb module.

* Makefile: use $(CP) instead of cp, to be able to specify `cp' options
  (CP="cp -p")

* Makefile: ship debian/ files in `dist' target as well, if not only
  for debian/changelog.

* Makefile: bumped version to 0.76

* Use unlink(tmpname) + open(O_CREAT|O_EXCL) instead of
  open(O_CREAT|O_TRUNC) when creating the new CDB file.
  And use O_NOFOLLOW if defined.
  This also works around some (probably) possible symlink attacks.

* Add -p perms option for cdb utility, to specify mode (permission bits)
  for newly created .cdb file (default is 0666&umask(), -p forces the given
  mode).

* allow tmpname (cdb -t) to be `-', to mean no temp file gets created.
  Also check if tmpname is the same as database name and don't try to
  rename() if it is.

* rewrite nss_cdb-Makefile a bit: simplify it, and use more sane
  permission scheme for /etc/shadow

* bumped Debian Standards-Version to 3.7.2 (no changes necessary).

* fixed a typo in cdb_seek.c, -- it segfaulted if passed NULL dlenp
  pointer. Thanks Daiki for the patch. Closes: #383417

* use MAP_FAILED to test mmap() return value, instead of hardcoded -1.

* several minor fixes for debian/* files, thanks to Bernhard R. Link.

* removed libnss_cdb Debian package, for now

* libcdb-dev replaces tinycdb<0.76
