= Work done last _two_ weeks:

         * Time spent on elfutils: ~50%

	* Bugfixes and improvements in relocation handling
	  ** Warn if some place seems to lack a relocation
	  ** Handle relocations in .debug_pub*, .debug_aranges
	  ** Operate properly in absence of relocation data

	* Move dwarfstrings.h to .c to hide all the C-only stuff that that 
uses.  A step towards C++ dwarflint.

	* High-level check optional/expected/required attributes.  All 
attributes allowed by the standard are currently marked as "optional". 
Next we need to go through that table and re-tag some attributes as 
expected or required.

	* High-level check for expected value space of attributes.

	* Structural checks of .debug_line, including relocations.

	* General refactoring and bugfixing


= Work scheduled next:

         * Expected time spent on elfutils: 50%.

	* I think that another mass test is due.  That should give me a fresh 
stream of stuff to fix.

         * Still didn't get around to go through anomalies we've found, 
perhaps this week, finally!

	* Or go through the spec and re-tag attribute expectedness.

PM
