  * Check that files marked as duplicates haven't changed during program
    execution before deleting them
  * Update documentation to indicate units for SIZE in command-line options
  * Move some configuration settings to configure.ac file
  * Fixes for the new wrapper:
  * Order duplicates by name, to get a reproducible file set (bsc#1197484)
  * Remove redundant order parameter from fdupes invocation
  * Modernize code, significantly reduce allocations
  * Exit immediately when mandatory parameters are missing
  * Remove obsolete buildroot parameter
  * Add some tests for the wrapper
  * Do not link the files as given by fdupes, but turn them into relative links
  * Support multiple directories given (as glob to the macro)
