Web page request:
Mike LaBonte showed the IBISCHK bugs web page.  Bob Ross said a request had been received
from Michael Mirmak, to add a column showing which IBISCHK version each bug was fixed in.
He said the date closed and supporting version columns could be cross checked.  Mike asked
if "NOT A BUG" or "WILL NOT FIX" would go into the fixed version column.  Bob did not want
that.

Mike showed the bugdir.txt file.  Bob explained the special notations in that file.  Mike
asked if the new column should be derived from the individual bug files or from
bugdir.txt.  Bob was not sure if the consistency in the bug files was good enough.  He
suggested using bugdir.txt.  Mike felt the probability of inconsistency among 200+ bug
files was good, whereas making fixes to a single bugdir.txt file would be easier..  We
noticed that the script was already reading the bug files to get the closed dates,
however.  Mike asked if we should get fixed version from those files for that reason.  Bob
agreed.  The new column would be "Supporting Version".
