0.50 Tue Mar 21 11:56:32 EST 2000
        - Complete rewrite incorporating the following changes.
        - Requires 5.00503.  This allowed the module to get rid of the
          global cache for shared memory segments; each Shareable
          object now carries around its own data.
        - 5.00503 also allowed tied arrays to be implemented
        - Shared memory segments can no longer be of infinite length
          thereby reducing the amount of code in the module by a
          factor of 2.
        - Uses IPC::Shareable::SharedMem class for accessing
          shared memory.
        - Uses IPC::Semaphore module for accessing semaphores.
        - Completely revisited the way references are dealed with: all
          referenced thingies are now automagically tied to shared
          memory.
        - Constants now imported from IPC::SysV; Shareable.xs is gone
        - Rewrote test suite and moved into t subdirectory
        - Updated man page

0.51  Fri May  5 23:47:06 EDT 2000
        - Fixed bug that would cause IPC::Shareable::BUF_SIZ to be
          ignored; thanks to Robert Emmery <roberte@netscape.com> and
          Mohammed J. Kabir <kabir@intevo.com> for reporting.
        - Stopped tests from leaking shm segments
        - Added test of argument parsing
        - doc fixes
