Added files:

Log:
Update Prio: high (because of driver and other fixes, see below)
- update to new version 7.2.0
- update pkg-plist (4 new bjc driver scripts, apsfilter4.png)
- update SETUP patch for FreeBSD-current (chown xxx:yyy syntax, which
is currently not included in apsfilter, am unsure, if all Linux and
Solaris support this, can somebody please clarify ? Thanks)
Highlights of the new apsfilter version (new features):
- printing to Novell remote printer supported, now apsfilter supports
all important types of remote printer (Novell, Unix/lpd, Microsoft,
AppleTalk)
- save network traffic by telling remote lpd and Netware printer scheduler,
to manage copies of a print jobs themselves, this saves you sending
a print job n times over the network (when printing with:
"lpr -C copies=20 large_file.ps"
- Testinstallations of apsfilter under $HOME for testing/migration
planning supported. Test then using aps2file ...
This works for non-root user. configure knows 2 new options for
that purpose, to customize printcap and spooldir location under
$HOME, /tmp or whereever, you get the idea
FIXES:
- BJC script fixes, never ending story, 4 new subtypes of printers
with different print capabilities.
- Security: SETUP uses secure tmpdir
- you can rename printer now or add printer aliases now
aps2file and apspreview understand now to handle aliases (this was
tricky/expensive but doable)
- different fixes see ANNOUNCE / ChangeLog file
