Notes on preparing a release:

update README (easy)
update Makefile.in
update bxversion.h     (configure; make bxversion.h)
write into CHANGES.txt
copy into docs-html/changelog.html
update docs-html/cvs-status.html

building it:
source: 
  cvs tag REL_1_2_BASE
  cvs checkout -r REL_1_2_BASE -d bochs-1.2 bochs
  tar czvf bochs-1.2.tar.gz bochs-1.2

win32 makefiles:
  sh .conf.win32-vcpp
  zip bochs-win32makefiles-1.2.zip  bochs-1.2/config.h bochs-1.2/Makefile bochs-1.2/*/Makefile bochs-1.2/*/*/Makefile

mac makefiles:
  sh .conf.macos
  zip bochs-macos-1.2.zip  bochs-1.2/config.h bochs-1.2/Makefile bochs-1.2/*/Makefile bochs-1.2/*/*/Makefile

win32 binary:
  for windows, no automation yet.  Look at old package and copy new files in.

RPM:
  cvs export -r REL_1_2_BASE -d bochs-1.2 bochs
  su root
  configure
  make rpm
