Where to from here?  The final bug-fix for Version 2.0 is now pretty well
done and I don't want to do this anymore because I don't use the stock
files setup or paths.

Here's where it stands, though, for anyone that wants to see what 2.0
could have and should have been.  (Set up your paths per the readme and
run a few demos.)

v 2.0 r7513 (or thereabouts) mod-patch 08 is included in the final
version.

And here's the history, in case anyone is interested.

About the latest mod-patch:

* fluid undos were exceeding the expected 1000 file limit.  One 
  project I was working on had over 1700 undos.  Changed the 
  undo cleaning process to read actual files in the undo buffers
  (directories) instead of just generating names sequentially and
  seeing if they existed.
  
* Gave fluid a more descriptive title to make it easier to pick it
  out on a grouped taskbar.  "Fluid - FLTK UI Designer"

* Increased number of undo buffers to 8.  This is likely the final
  number.  Was 4 to simplify debugging.
  
  The undo buffers are basically fluid "sessions" containing undo
  info for the project currently being worked on.  The individual
  files saved are actual fluid files and can be reloaded if they
  exist, though several operations will clean them out, including
  a 'save' operation.  It's best not to mess with them unless it's
  a dire emergency, but they do exist and are readable.
  
  The number of buffers determines how many sessions can be open
  concurrently, basically.  Eight should be enough for even the
  most radical of scenarios -- and they DO get cleared out every 
  8 sessions now.  In the original 2.0 they do not clear out at 
  all.  There was a bug in the algorithm which we changed to 
  ensure nobody ends up with 130 megs of undo data -- so much that
  it crashed my konqueror trying to delete them all.  :-)

  To see the buffers and the undo files look in the system folder
    ~/.fltk/fltk.org/fluid2

  There you will see the index file containing the next buffer 
  to use and the folders where the undos are saved, restored, 
  and now, at long last, completely cleaned up next time we come
  around. ;-)

I don't know if you're having as hard a time as I am keeping
all these mods straight but if you're having as much trouble as
I am you can understand why I'm going to start uploading my own
system instead of this one.

Take a look at the screenshot 'uninstaller.png'.  That's the 
system I have going on my side.
