+       Relocatable object files with the extension of .So have been renamed
+       to use an extension of .pico instead.  The purpose of this change is
+       to avoid a name clash with shared libraries on case-insensitive file
+       systems.  On those file systems, foo.So is the same file as foo.so.

        GNU rcs has been turned off by default.  It can (temporarily) be built
        again by adding WITH_RCS knob in src.conf.
