lame3.58beta is on the web site.
This is also tag 'lame3_58beta' in the CVS repository, since CVS
does not allow a '.' to be in the tag name.
It is just a tag, not a branch. My (limited) understanding of CVS
makes me think the beta releases do not warrent being a branch,
but the 'official' releases should be a new branch. That way
we can update the official release independently of later beta versions.
I will put out a new official release this week since this beta
code should fix those intermittent crashes caused by the ix overflow.

Here is the list of changes on the web site: This does not include
changes directly checked into CVS since they are too hard for me to keep
track of. If you have some changes that were checked into CVS
before today, send me email and I will add them to the history file
on the web page.
