Put in the start of thread-safing the module. But this part of the
API is still pretty black in the Lockheed Skunkworks sense of the
word, so it isn't at all complete.

- third alpha
Fixes to the thread-safing code. When built against a 5.6.0 configured
for threading, several problems were found. All (current) tests now
pass on that configuration.
Added a file, IMPORTANT.perl, to the distribution that explains the
nature of a condition that can prevent the extension from working on
any version of Perl not installed from an rpm.
Still more trimming of tokens out of Constants.pm that are not of use
by the interface being provided. Filled in a few more in terms of
documentation.
Found a case in RPM::Header that would cause core-dumps: Any tags found
by the iterator that were not exported for the API by the rpm lib
could cause a null pointer to be passed through to an entry point that
was several lines past where I had normally checked for the null. This
meant that source RPMs would almost certainly break, since the
offending tags only showed up when I started testing against SRPMS.
Now, the iterators skip over these internal tags. The normal FETCH
method already tested for this, but the interators were sneaking past
those tests.
Added a method to the RPM::Header class, is_source(), that returns a
true value (1) if the header is associated with a source RPM.

CHANGES
This is the second release. In addition to some bug fixes, this release adds
some documentation, more test suites, and error management via the RPM::Error
package.
This is the third release. Full details are itemized in the ChangeLog file,
but the primary change in this release is the location and correction of a
bug in the RPM::Header code that could cause segmentation faults.
