littleutils-1.2.6 released

API CHANGE!! The to-bzip utility has been renamed to-bzip2 to better differentiate from the new to-bzip3.

Added to-bzip3. Additionally, the to-7zip, to-lzip, to-lzma, to-xz, and to-zst utilities will now all convert .bz3 files.

The filehash utility now uses unlocked I/O for most algorithms, which can be faster in certain circumstances. It also prints hash results in base64 if the -B option is used and in BSD-style format if the -C option is used.

The recomp-jpg utility now recompresses grayscale JPEG images as grayscale. There is also a new -d option to select between 'float', 'int', and 'fast' DCT methods

The repeats utility now reads 16384 bytes per file in stage 2 instead of 65536. This reduces the I/O and CPU time for most data sets. Also, repeats.pl has been updated to silently skip unreadable files and directories instead of aborting, and a new repeat.py utility that functions similarly to repeats.pl has been added

The littleutils-1.2.6a release fixes a single typo in the m4/lib-prefix.m4 file that caused a spurious error message when running ./configure. The resulting build is the same as before, but 1.2.6a provides a cleaner build.
