Hello,

As has become customary, ‘bigloo4.3b.tar.gz’ has been modified in
place:

  original tarball:
  <https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org/file/bigloo4.3b.tar.gz/sha256/1x7xdgsls277zlf6gcaxs2cj62xj6yvb0qxh0ddmxfamvxba0cf4>

  new one:
  <ftp://ftp-sop.inria.fr/indes/fp/Bigloo/bigloo4.3b.tar.gz>
  <https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org/file/bigloo4.3b.tar.gz/sha256/02s0wrz5b1p0yqk9x6kax1vwzil7g9cyxfvl3vmy7fzznsza9gs4>

The diff is huge (85 MiB!) because it contains generated C files.  Some
hunks suggest that the tarball was modified six months after its
original publication:

Fixed in 1fe1bb96f2d7cf32e056496661bb5bed20b48edc.

I used a different version number because I think we owe our users more
transparency than upstream is willing to offer.
