Enable building without -pie and -fPIE if BROKEN_PIE is set.

command passed to it. This has been fixed.
** Bug fix: Make the "--userid" and "--groupid" options in
"plugin-runner.conf" work.
* Server
** Bug fix: Fix the LSB header in the init.d script to make dependency

** Fix bug where server would stop responding, with a zombie checker
** Support for disabling IPv6 (only for advanced users)
** Fix bug which made server not change group ID
* Client
** Bug fix: Fix permission for /lib64 (on relevant architechtures).

** Make password prompt on boot not be mangled by kernel log messages
about network interface.
** Get network interface from initramfs.conf and/or from kernel
command line.
** If set by "ip=" kernel command line, configure network on boot.
** Support connecting directly using "mandos=connect" kernel command.
line option, provided network is configured using "ip=".
** Fix bug which made plugin-runner and mandos-client not change group
ID.
** Fix bug where the "--options-for" option of plugin-runner would
truncate the value at the first colon character.
** Fix bug where plugin-runner would not go to fallback if all plugins
failed.
** Fix bug where mandos-client would not clean temporary directory on
a signal or on certain file systems.
** Bug fix: remove bashism in /bin/sh script "mandos-keygen".
Version 1.0.5 (2009-01-17)
* Client

* Server
** Only find matched user/group pairs when searching for suitable
nonprivileged user/group to switch to.
* Client
** New kernel parameter "mandos=off" makes client not run at boot.
** Fix linking errors and compilation warnings on AMD64.
** Parse numbers in command line options better.
** The splashy and usplash plugins are more robust while traversing
/proc, and will not abort if a process suddenly disappears.
Version 1.0.3 (2009-01-06)
* Server
** Now tries to change to user and group "_mandos" before falling back
to trying the old values "mandos", "nobody:nogroup", and "65534".
** Now does not abort on startup even if no clients are defined in
clients.conf.
* Client
** Plugins named "*.dpkg-bak" are now ignored.
** Hopefully fixed compilation failure on some architectures where the
C compiler does not recognize the "-z" option as a linker option.
Version 1.0.2 (2008-10-17)
* mandos-keygen now signs the encrypted key blobs. This signature is
not currently verified by mandos-client, but this may change in the
future.

* Server
** Expand environment variables and ~user in clients.conf's "secfile"
The "secfile" option in /etc/mandos/clients.conf now expands
"~user/foo" and "$ENVVAR" strings.
* Client (plugin-runner, plugins, etc.)
** Manual pages for the usplash, splashy, and askpass-fifo plugins.
All plugins now have man pages.
** More secure compilation and linking flags.
All programs are now compiled with "-fstack-protector-all -fPIE
-pie", and linked using "-z relro -pie" for additional security.
* There is now a "NEWS" file (this one), giving a history of
noteworthy changes.
