    Update to version 1.9.13-2

    Homepage: https://jetico.com/downloads/data-wiping/#bcwipe
    Documentation: BCWipe for Unix (Release Notes • User Guide • tar.gz, 138 kB)

    - Updated source archive download link.
    - Source code was written for an older GCC. Modern GCC with `-std=gnu2x` is stricter,
      causing build failures due to K&R-style definitions and mismatched prototypes.
      Workaround: `CFLAGS="-std={gnu89,gnu99,gnu11,gnu17}"`.
    - Added `--enable-pthreads` option for multithreading.
      Use `-t N` to run N threads when wiping block devices (useful for multiple disks).
