  Major changes in the interface of the library are marked by \b !!.

  - \b 19/12/2002 (thof)
    - \b !! aff::Array provides access to base classes through access
      functions and not through conversion operators.

  - \b 18/12/2002 (thof)
    - defined dump function for Strided
    - started with tests/shapetest.cc
    - reworked stridedstepper to fit into new concept
    - essential correction in aff::Strided::collapse()
    - aff::Strided, aff::Shaper, and aff::util::StridedStepper
      passed basic tests
    - additionally aff::SharedHeap and aff::SimpleRigidArray passed their
      basic tests
    - activated scalar assignment with aff::Array::operator=()

  - \b 17/12/2002 (thof)
    - introduced class Series
    - \b !! Array now inherits privately from Strided
    - use access declarations to declare base class functions that should be
