foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
- new -t/-T (already in pkgsrc version)
- cygwin termcap support
- severel new core dumps fixed
- support for ICB groups called, eg, "/quit"
- better mIRC colour support
