Changes in version 0.25:

user-defined filters, has been added.

'5' vs 'S', 'E', 'J', merged 'VV').
* Uppercase 'Y' with acute and 'Y' with diaeresis are now recognized.
* Uppercase 'S' and 'Z' with caron are no more misrecognized as
lowercase.
* The new built-in filters "text_block" and "upper_num_mark" have
been added.
* The output of "--help" has been extended.
* The new chapters "Introduction" and "Filters" have been added to
the manual.
* The testsuite now checks the recognition of 11 more characters.
* The targets "install-compress", "install-strip-compress",
"install-info-compress" and "install-man-compress" have been added to
the Makefile. (Installing compressed docs may become the default in the
future).
