-----------
tlmgr.pl: mention problem of too-frequent updates using mirror.ctan.org.
(Uwe Siart, tex-live 02 Mar 2017 10:30:35)

install-menu-txt.pl: menu headings more consistent, try to clarify
customizations vs. actions.
(Alan Litchfield, texhax 12 Mar 2017 11:37:35)

tl-update-asy: need ASYMPTOTE_EPSDRIVER; simplify since original is no
longer svn.

releng.txt: more version number locations.
