CHANGED: using Makemaker instead of self-written code in Makefile.PL

for installation. No more dependency checks built-in because
                note runs out-of-the-box without additional modules, as a matter fact.
ADDED:          if a search matches exactly on one note it will be displayed
                directly, which avoids typing.
CHANGED:        the main if-else contruct for calling the several subs has
                been replaced by a simple closure call.
CHANGED:        notes will now displayed in a slightly simpler fashion in interactive
                mode, without the separator line between the title and the note.
ADDED:          note can now determine automatically the width and height of
                the terminal window it runs in (in interactive mode only) and
                sets the width/height of what it prints accordingly. the config
                variable "MaxLen" must be set to "auto" (which is the default
                from now on) to get this to work.
ADDED:          any interactive command will now clear the screen before it does
                anything. this look much more uncluttered.
ADDED:          if multiple notes are printed at once (i.e. note 1,2) then the
                separator line between them will no more being printed because
                every notes title is preceded by a line anyway.
CHANGED:        by default the default operation mode is now interactive mode,
                which is somewhat kindlier to new users.
CHANGED:        changed to order which editor note tries to find. vi got now
                higher precedence, because it is likely installed on almost
                any unix system.
CHANGED:        cosmetics.
NOTE:           increased minor version number from 1 to 2 to indicate that
                development begun after 2 1/2 years pause again :-)

Another thingy you might find useful is the -r (--raw) command-line
