Related: GRFCodec 0.9.9 released

Hi all,

Thanks to more work by DaleStan, I'm pleased to announce the release of 
GRFCodec 0.9.9.  Get it at http://www.ttdpatch.net/grfcodec/ if you're 
working with .grf files.

This new version checks the palette of any PCX files while encoding to make 
sure you're not accidentally using the wrong palette, and can now read GIMP 
palette files as well.

It reads and writes Info version 7 (by default), which makes writing NFO 
code a little easier by introducing several escape sequences.  See the wiki 
at http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-index.php?page=GRFActionsDetailed for more 
details.

All changes in 0.9.9 (r653)
- By patchman:
   - Check for sprites that extend beyond the end of the PCX file.
   - Update versioning system to show last-comitted revision for non-release
     builds.
- By DaleStan:
   - (devel) Add release targets to the Makefiles
   - Check the palette of the PCX file before encoding from it.
     (Override a failed check with -f)
   - Introduce several backslash escape sequences; see the wiki for further
     information.
     (disable with -x or -xx)
   - Do not apply colormap to sprites that like character glyphs.
     (Apply colormap to all sprites with -M instead of -m)
