wennmach ab0c92ec35 Update txt2html to version 2.44.
The old version of txt2html was so outdated that it makes little
sense to list the changes. Most importantly, the new version now
has major revision number 2, which is due to the fact that
HTML::TextToHTML and the official txt2html were merged. Lots of
subsequent added features and bug fixes.

The updated package was prepared by Aleksey Cheusov in wip.
Closes PR pkg/35469.

HTML::TextToHTML converts plain text files to HTML. The txt2html
script uses this module to do the same from the command-line.
It supports headings, tables, lists, simple character markup, and
hyperlinking, and is highly customizable. It recognizes some of the
apparent structure of the source document (mostly whitespace and
typographic layout), and attempts to mark that structure explicitly
using HTML. The purpose for this tool is to provide an easier way of
converting existing text documents to HTML format, giving something
nicer than just whapping the text into a big PRE block.
