+# For many years, the version string was "Netpbm x.y.z" instead of just
+# "x.y.z".  This was probably related to the fact that when you ask a Netpbm

+# of the whole package, not just that program.  And also to distinguish from
+# the Pbmplus version of the program.  But this is highly unconventional in
+# pkg-config or config files, so we removed the "Netpbm" in Netpbm 10.90
+# (March 2020).
