What's new? Well, most importantly, the document watch feature has been
ported to gnome-vfs file monitoring capabilities, fixing annoying
misbehaviour of GGV while watching over remote documents. Apart from
that a few minor bugs were fixed and ghostscript was caught occasionally
running without the "-dSAFER" switch: this rather dangerous habit was
prohibited immediately!
GGV is now also a bit less of a narcist: it does not include "GGV" in
the desktop entry name - it's only "PostScript Viewer" now, following
the fine examples of eog and gpdf.
The recent-files module has been updated to the one in latest libegg.
Multiple updated translations.

the popular top Unix command does. ntop is based on libpcap and it has been
written in a portable way in order to virtually run on every Unix platform and
on Win32 as well.
ntop users can use a web browser (e.g. netscape) to navigate through ntop (that
acts as a web server) traffic information and get a dump of the network status.
In the latter case, ntop can be seen as a simple RMON-like agent with an
embedded web interface.
The use of:
- a web interface
- limited configuration and administration via the web interface
- reduced CPU and memory usage (they vary according to network size and traffic)
make ntop easy to use and suitable for monitoring various kind of networks.

While here, improve handling of files living under PREFIX/libdata: instead
of keeping them in the PLIST, remove them from the deinstallation script;
this way we won't get checksum mismatches (a typical thing when doing "make
replace").
Also remove some compatibility hacks I added before the libtool soname
changes were done (they are useless). And fix PLIST WRT .la files.

* Bug fixes
- The scheduler's is_path_absolute() code could cause a DoS (STR #1042)
- The scheduler's device loading code used the wrong size limits for the
make/model and info parameters (STR #1035)
- The PNG loading code did not use a "long unsigned integer" format
specifier for the width and height (STR #1032)
- The web interface only showed the first 4 or 8 characters of
"{variable-name}" for undefined template variables (STR #1031)
- The hpgltops filter did not handle a common PCL command to enter
HP-GL/2 mode (STR #1037)
- The scheduler no longer sends the page-set option when printing banner
pages (STR #995)
- The hpgltops filter contained two buffer overflows that could
potentially allow remote access to the "lp" account (STR #1024)
- The lppasswd command did not protect against file descriptor or ulimit
attacks (STR #1023)
- The "lpc status" command used the wrong resource path when querying
the list of printers and jobs, causing unnecessary authentication
requests (STR #1018)
- The httpWait() function did not handle signal interruptions (STR #1020)
- The USB backend used the wrong size status variable when checking the
printer status (STR #1017)
- The scheduler did not delete classes from other classes or implicit
classes, which could cause a crash (STR #1015)
- The IPP backend now logs the remote print job ID at log level NOTICE
instead of INFO (so it shows up in the error_log file...)
