+# 20220622 bkw, BUILD=2:
+# - strip binary (whoops).
+# - remove mention of retroarch support from README, it FTBFS.
+#   sooner or later I'll fix it or remove it entirely.
+# Note: I tried snes9x 1.61 on Slackware 15.0 with all updates, and
+# it still crashes as described below. Also tried latest post-1.61 git
+# and it has the same problem. So staying with 1.59 for now, sorry.
+
+# 20211014 bkw: *downgrade* to 1.59, for now at least. 1.60 crashes
+# immediately if built with gtk+2 and started with a ROM filename.
+# If you pick a ROM from within the app, it'll work sometimes, but
+# sometimes it'll crash. When build with gtk+3, it crashes any time
+# you try to open the Preferences dialog while a ROM is loaded. I
+# also tried the latest git, it acts the same as 1.60 (except that it
+# can't be built with gtk+2 any more). I can't get 1.59 to crash, so
+# that's what I'm packaging. I don't know if the issues with 1.60 are
+# something to do with -current (something that might be fixed before
+# 15.0 releases) or something broken upstream. If you're reading this
+# after Slackware 15.0 has been released, please remind me to look
+# into it again.
+
+# 20191126 bkw: update for 1.60. Upstream has switched from autotools
+# to meson for the build system, so this script can no longer build
+# old versions.
+
+# 20181201 bkw:
+# - update for 1.57.
+# - disable OSS audio by default, add OSS=yes option.
+# - autodetect RetroArch, add RETROARCH=yes|no option.
+# - document the above in the README.
+# - document PULSE=no in README.
+# - stop including snes9x.conf.default in the docdir, since it's
+#   outdated and will cause snes9x to segfault if you try to use it!
+# - since we now have 3 build options, make slack-desc show them.
+# - add patch from upstream to speed up linking the libretro core if
+#   -jX is in MAKEFLAGS.
+# - add patch fro upstream to stop segfaulting if the config file is
+#   missing the ScanlineIntensity variable. Means I can finaly remove
+#   the "you should delete your old config file" from the README.
+
+# 20180730 bkw:
+# - BUILD=2.
+# - add libretro/RetroArch, thanks to orbea.
+# - add --without-portaudio to configure args. snes9x runs about
+#   1 frame/sec if I start it up with the sound driver set to portaudio,
+#   and I've gotten a report of it blasting high-volume white noise
+#   thru the speakers if you switch to portaudio while a ROM is already
+#   running. I can't see any reason to use it in favor of pulse, alsa,
+#   oss, or sdl audio.
+# - don't extract windows, mac, old-school unix stuff from tarball.
+#   uses 50% less $TMP space.
+
+# 20180623 bkw: update for 1.56.2.
+# 20180611 bkw:
+# - update for 1.56.1.
+# - switch the UI from gtk3 to gtk2, as 14.2's gtk3 is too old.
+# - add undocumented PULSE=no build option (in anticipation of 15.0's
+#   pure-alsa-system).
+# - add SDL2 to REQUIRES. technically, it's not truly required: snes9x
+#   only uses SDL2 to support joysticks. playing with the keyboard/mouse
+#   would still work without it. 15.0 is coming soon, and will have SDL2
+#   in the core OS, so don't bother me about this decision.
+# - update README, the snes9x_gtk build went away in 2010, no need to
+#   mention it now. also add notes about upgrading from 1.55.
+# 20171221 bkw: use --without-system-zip to build bundled unzip, instead
+#               of adding minizip as a dependency.
+# 20171213 bkw: update for 1.55.
+# 20170302 bkw: use long-format github URL
+# 20161015 bkw: update for 1.54.1. script has changed enough that it
+# can't build 1.53 any more.
