CHANGES:
v1.1.08
* Confirmed pppd bug of not always terminating on SIGTERM. The new define
  TRUST_PPPD_TO_DIE determins whether we send SIGTERM or SIGKILL, with
  SIGKILL being the (new) default. (ppp-2.4.2-6.4.RHEL4 is known to be
  broken)

v1.1.07
* Fix for unaligned header field accesses crashes on RISC by Dave S. Miller
  (# 735)
* Added and enabled pppd debugging code to assist locating a serious
  xl2tpd infinite loop when pppd does not die after a SIGTERM.
* Complete support for pppol2tp's kernel mode L2TP. Patch by Cedric
* Make spec file Fedora Extras compliant
* Added pppol2tp-linux-2.4.27.patch to contrib/
* Pidfile fixes (by Tuomo)
* Fix creation of pid file if /var/run/xl2tpd does not exist.
* Fix compile without SANITY defined (Charlie Brady <charlieb at moodindigo.ca>)
* Fix configuration filename for the ppp options file (#725 by Tuomo)
* Fixes to compile with all DEBUG_* statements enabled
* Documented all DEBUG_* statements in Makefile
