+  * config/none.cf
+  * config/global.cf
+  * config/instsh.cf
+  * config/dirsh.cf
+    ! Fixed minor visual glitch on non-sh shells where some echoed messages
+      were shown inside double quotes.
+      There is only one such but very rare message left in global.cf.
+
+  * ChangeLog
+    ! Typo in prev entry.
+
+  * config/dos/djgpp.cf
+    * Changed 'echo.' to 'echo' to make it shell independent just like
+      all other echo commands in the make config files.
+      Pre-2.02 DJGPP distros had an echo.exe, originally I may have
+      added to dots to force using the shell echo instead of this external
+      one. Quick tests made with djecho.exe (the new name of echo.exe)
+      showed it working. Maybe old echo.exe had some bad side effects,
+      I don't remember and ChangeLog entry doesn't have the reason.

   * utils/hbmk2/hbmk2.prg
     ! Minor fix for darwin and automatic entry function detection using 'nm'.
-      nm on Darwin doesn't seem to support '--defined-only -C' option.
+      nm on Darwin doesn't seem to support '--defined-only -C' options.
       Przemek, please check this, maybe this hurts functionality.
