Changes since the last upload:

   * Fix whitespace in changelog.

Note: The previous RFS was #956907 and ftp-master rejected and noted
missing copyright in:
* apps/JAWS/clients/WebSTONE/src/nsapi_includes/*
* apps/JAWS/clients/WebSTONE/src/rexec.c
* contrib/FaCE/*

Assuming the copyright for "apps/JAWS/clients/WebSTONE/src/nsapi_includes"
meant the one at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Public_License
I preferred to remove those files from the repacked source as none of
the files pointed out by ftp-masters are being used.

No other change has been done from the previous upload which ftp-masters
have reviewed.

As before it has been tested with ratt.
