jtb b0528832e6 Initial import of advi.
Active-DVI is a DVI previewer and presenter written in Objective Caml
(http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/) with some eye candy effects for
presentation, support for interactive demonstrations, and embedding of
arbitrary applications within the presentation (hence the Active
adjective of the presenter :).

Active-DVI currently supports the following features:

+ Encapsulated Postscript File inclusion (using graphics package)
+ Effects for presentation (pause, delay, text color change)
+ Embedded applications for interactive demonstration
+ Pictures visualization via gpic specials
+ Display of inlined Postscript using gs
+ Font antialiasing that takes background colors into account
+ Page display is interrupted on user input
+ Resizing the page adjusts the magnification
+ Start displaying at a given page or at a given link reference
+ The file is reloading on signal SIGUSR1
+ Hyperlinks
+ Active areas (execute an action when the mouse is over)
+ Background colors and images
+ Alpha blending for images

IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTE:
------------------------
ActiveDVI may execute programs and commands embedded into the DVI
file. Hence, when playing a DVI file from an untrusted source, you
should run advi with the -safer option that inhibits the execution of
embedded applications. This warning applies in particular if you
choose ActiveDVI as your default meta-mail previewer for the
application/x-dvi mime-type.
The ActiveDVI manual in ${PREFIX}/share/doc/advi/ explains how to use
the program securely.
