Plug-ins:
Fix for CVE-2007-3126, a bug in the ICO plug-in which allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an ICO file with an InfoHeader containing a Height of zero. We couldn't reproduce any crash in recent version, but fixed the error messages for good measure.
Avoid creating wrong layer group structure when importing PSD files (already fixed in 2.8.20, didn't make it to the NEWS).
Prevent a crash in PDF plug-in if images or resolution are large.
stop parsing invalid PCX files early and prevent a segmentation fault.
General:
If NOCONFIGURE is set, autogen.sh won't run configure.
