 installing.  Fix memory corruption problem in CGI code.  Remove crash in info
 pages for replies with no Content-Type.  Remove socket timeouts in wwwoffle
 program because they are in server.  Don't let the WDG HTML validator request
 any pages.  Fix some comments, remove unused variables make unneeded global
 variables static.  Add some more pointer checks, free unfreed memory, remove
 unused function arguments.  Don't overwrite the existing outgoing file when
 requesting URL.  Handle file systems where the directory entries are not in the
 conventional order.

Documentation:
