Work has started on making repeat builds bit-identical. So far this has involved removing code which embeds build dates into the binaries.

[Perry E. Metzger]

UDF: Implement directory hashing to speed up directory traversals. Speed improvements of at least 4 times in untarring and roughly 100 to 500 times on file creation in big directories.

[Reinoud Zandijk]

While openpam overwrites possible sensitive data on cleanup, it misses the buffers used in the password dialog.

Clean them too.[Matthias Drochner]
