• Make: generate version info (date, user, host) on build of programs and lib
• Distrib: make, package bin/src releases for all architectures
• High level writing:

       SdifFNewFrame (file, framesig, time, streamid);
       SdifFAddMatrix_TYPE_ (file, matrixsig, nrow, ncol, _TYPE_ *data);
       SdifFAddMatrix_TYPE_Columns (file, matrixsig, nrow, ncol, _TYPE_ *columns[]);
