In addition there are several other fixes including:
***************************************************

1) Fixes calls to the jeppe2 function (patches from Genser)

2)  Change pdf set path and name variable lengths to 1024 characters to
avoid overflows on e.g. Grid deployments.

3) Adding a check to make sure that no-one tries to install into
--prefix=$PWD.

4) Fixes the problem that the u and d, and also the ubar and dbar,
partons were interchanged in error for the HKN nuclear PDF sets.

More details of other previous fixes are given in the ChangeLog
