  do the appropriate song and dance to verify keyword expanded files

1998/8/14

- fixed date format problem with 98.2 (p4 change -f would fail on dates of
  the form yyyy/mm/dd  h:mm:ss - i.e. times before 10am)
- other small updates

1998/6/5

- added support for ignoring branches (useful if PVCS branches aren't labelled
  and aren't terribly meaningful anyway)
- added support for not including a branch name in depot filenames
  (not recommended but it might be useful for some)

- added support for lowercasing user names
- added ability to specify file type by "filename extension"

1998/3/19

- added ability to log complete output of all commands run by the converter

  warning message

1998/3/11

- added support for "level 2" branching, removed code to run "p4 branches"

  if they are set

1998/3/5

- fixed convert.pl to recognize files ending in V as well as v  (Doh!)
- added support for lowercasing filenames and paths
- improved error logging and error checking
- added a verification script (verify.pl)
- removed support for servers prior to 97.3 in order to
  - eliminate the p4 get in mkdepot.pl (this speeds things up and avoids a
    possible future incompatibility)

1998/1/21

- fixed mkdepot.pl to handle multiple labels on same revision
