What's New in This Release:
· The 'fgz' command was split into several ones (fgzadd, fgzbuild, fgzdel, fgzexport, fgzimport, fgzjump, fgzmod, and frogz) so that the distinction between primary and secondary options doesn't exist anymore.
· The '@' build syntax was also removed, so from now on all the options are introduced by the classic "-".
· The 'rainette' install script was rewritten in shell with some new features (and some useless ones were removed).
· This release also includes some other minor bugfixes and code improvements.
