Petra, thanks for the comments. I'm still trying to reverse engineer a usable
build system for this monster.  Seems I'm not quite there yet.

Now that is an interesting question!!
It's here  but apparently didn't make it to the zip file
I will fix the build (and update to today's date)

Ah yes, sorry that was a documentation-only change (change from biber to bibtex)
please don't ask why:(
Given the difficulty of changing the version number in these files
I didn't change the versions just for that.

Thanks, sorry to create extra work but I think even though it's only a
documentation
issue I should upload again with a zip that included oberdiek.tex. Will take me
a few minutes to arrange the build script (and half an hour to run it again)
