Update to 2.0.1.
This commit follows a previous one that I'd cancelled partway through, so it should get through to the cvs list, and should finish the upgrade. That's why the Makefile is not included in this commit. PR: 20509 Submitted by: maintainer

maintainable. Cons ensures that complex software is easily and
accurately reproducible.
-`Cons' uses a number of techniques to accomplish all of this.
-Construction scripts are just Perl scripts, making them both easy
-to comprehend and very flexible. Global scoping of variables is
-replaced with an import/export mechanism for sharing information
-between scripts, significantly improving the readability and
-maintainability of each script. `Construction environments' are
-introduced: these are Perl objects that capture the information
-required for controlling the build process. Multiple environments
-are used when different semantics are required for generating
-products in the build tree. Cons implements automatic dependency
-analysis and uses this to globally sequence the entire build.
-Variant builds are easily produced from a single source tree.
-Intelligent build subsetting is possible, when working on localized
-changes. Overrides can be setup to easily override build instructions
-without modifying any scripts. MD5 cryptographic `signatures' are
-associated with derived files, and are used to accurately determine
-whether a given file needs to be rebuilt.
-
-While offering all of the above, and more, Cons remains simple and
-easy to use. This will, hopefully, become clear as you read the
-remainder of the man page.
