 Purpose of this release:

-2.1.30 to avoid confusion with versions of 2.1.30 not built from the open source 
-code.
+This release of CDE under a new opensource license is numbered
+starting at version 2.2.0.

+dependancies that must be met, as well as specific set up steps
+required to build.

+Do not expect to just type 'make' and have it actually work without
+meeting the prerequisites and following the correct steps as spelled
