 Development history:
 ------------------------
 2003.01.23 - v2.3 - removed debug code that <ough> went to public
                     2.2 release making it rather useless unless one
                     manally had fixed the code. Sorry for the inconvenience.

 2003.01.19 - v2.2 - PDM now knows more about CD structure handling. You
                     should specify 'capacity' and 'reserved' any longer
                     ('media' type replaces these) - PDM internal computation
                     is now sector-based, which reduces risk of overburning
                     your CD by 99% and should produce valid image for any
                     number of files in source data set, which was previously
                     complicated sometimes and required to play with RESERVED
                     value manually. However current implementation ain't
                     perfect (yet), and might not fill each set as tightly
                     as you may wish, but frankly I don't care that much when
                     CDs are that cheap. I think it's better to waste 5 MB
                     than screw the whole CD due to overburnin problems etc
                     (it does not mean I'm not open for patches).
                   - added comand line interface handling (with use of
                     class_cli.php). You are now able to overwrite default
                     settings by specifing shell arguments. Please try
                     "pdm -help" for details.
                   - now checks if given source and destination directories
                     are in fact directories, if source is readable and
                     destination writable to the user
                   - added optional (see check_files_readability in .ini)
                     file checking, to ensure each processed file is really
                     readable to user. This shields you from being kicked by
                     mkisofs (i.e. during burn of 5th CD), which aborts if
                     unable to read any file. This option is not active if
                     you launch PDM as root (as it simply make no sense then)
                   - PDM now ensures you have mkisofs and cdrecord installed
                     and available, when ordered to use them
                   - new ini section MKISOFS to turn mkisofs support and then
                     configure this tool
                   - when in 'iso' mode, checks for older ISO images in
                     destination folder to avoid accidental overwrites
                   - pdm.ini is no longer obligatory. It's now optional. If
                     no pdm.ini found, PDM falls back to defaults.

 2003.01.15 - v2.1 - added support for ignore marker. Ignore marker is a file
                     (by default '.pdm_ignore' but its name can be configured
                     via ini file) that tells PDM to skip the directory it
                     resides in from being processed.
                   - changed default behaviour: when no dest dir is specified
                     your current working directory (the dir your are 'in'
                     while launching PDM) will be used instead of script
                     working directory (the dir it resides in).
                   - prior this version PDM had serious problems creating
                     some files and links if dest dir was specified
                   - Y/N 'requesters' can now accept 'Y', 'N' or empty answer
                     (equal to default answer) only. Feeding with crap repeats
                     the question unless valid answer is given.
                   - added ability to repeat whole burning (when in 'burn'
                     mode) again and again. This gives you a possibility to
                     make more than one copy of produced sets or to burn
                     selected set (i.e. when you skipped it, aborted by
                     mistake)
                   - PDM does no startup check against old set directories
                     to avoid potential problems with file/dir name collisions
                   - added .ini versioning, to be able to detect and inform
                     about ancient config files and (probably) misconfigured
                     features

 2003.01.13 - v2.0 - added support for configuration file (pdm.ini). Script
                     first tries to read ~/.pdm/pdm.ini then, if not found,
                     tries /etc/pdm/pdm.ini
                   - renamed the script - it's now just pdm.php to match SF
                     and FM project name (and to avoid confusion)
                   - added more end-user-readable output for all filesizes.
                     Instead of just pure bytecounts like "219942106" you will
                     also face "210MB"
                   - checks PHP config agains safe_mode to avoid newbie
                     problems they may face when running with active SafeMode.

 2003.01.01 - v1.6 - code spead-up ('progress' is repored less often, which
                     speeds up data processing *significantly*
                   - script used to leave temporary CD sets if ordered to Abort
                     after the sets had been created, but before processed
                   - when in burn mode, it no longer asks to burn the CD 'again'
                     if you wished not to burn the CD at all
                   - added config var to control FIFO size (important for all
                     on-the-fly burners)
                   - wrote some kind of documentation (check README ;-)
                   - modified configuration vars to be more self explanatory

 2002.12.10 - v1.5 - seems mkdir() needs now two parameters.

 2002.11.09 - v1.4 - changed the "Cleanup temp data question?",
                   - cleaned source code a bit, to better fit in 80 columns.

 2002.10.20 - v1.3 - added ability of re-burning given CD set (useful if you
                     i.e. procceed too fast, and cdrecord didn't burn anything
                     due to i.e. no blank cd found etc),
                   - reworked the 'UI' to be more friendly, and made most
                     'requesters' to give 'positive' answer as default option,
                     which lets you process your data just with [ENTER] key
                     for most the time...

 2002.08.13 - v1.2 - added "iso" copy mode, which acs like "link" but
                     additionaly creates ISO images (requires mkisofs),
                   - added "burn" copy mode which burns cd set on-the-fly
                     (requires mkisofs and cdrecord). See $CD_DEVICE below!

 2002.07.31 - v1.1 - instead of moving files, the script now symlinks them
                     by default (modify "COPY_MODE" to change this).

 2002.07.30 - v1.0 - initial release.
