v0.99.0 [Release 18. -- The 'Time to rethink everything' release -- "PT-0_99_0" ]

	This release brought about a complete rewrite.
	Some of the major changes since the last public release are...

	- By default, Powertweak now starts as a daemon that should be
	  run on bootup. (Old behaviour still possible with --no-daemon)
	  The GUI now communicates with the daemon instead of doing
	  the tweaking itself.
	- Backends are now completely modular plugin libraries.
	  This allows for easier cross-platform usage, and a cleaner API.
	- Profiles.
	  Tell Powertweak "This is a webserver" and have it auto-tune.
	- Rewritten /proc/sys tuning backend.
	- PCI backend now uses XML files to describe tweaks.
	  Several chipsets added since 0.1.17 release.
	- Addition of a disk elevator tuning backend.
	- CPU register tuning is now possible, as long as you have the
	  cpuid/msr drivers in your kernel (2.2.18, or 2.4.0test)
	- Working text mode user interface.

	Note, that with this release, you now NEED the following..
	PCI Utilities (At least version 2.1.0)
	LibXML (At least version 1.8.8, or 2.1.0)
