in lpd. Stat.recv is useful on a printserver, as something of a network
performance-monitoring tool. Stat.send is a minimal accounting record of
sorts for jobs going to tcp/ip based printers.

However, it doesn't check if the remote printer name it
is sending it to is the same as the local printer name,
and so chokes 'cos "laser" is not a real printer.

- Get rid of a lot of the static variables which were shared by
many routines and programs in the suite.
- Create an abstract interface to the printcap database, so that
other retrieval and iteration mechanisms could be developed
(e.g., YP, Hesiod, or automatic retrieval from a trusted server).
- Give each capability a human-readable name in addition to the historic
two-character one.
- Otherwise generally clean up a lot of dark corners. Many still remain.
- When submitting jobs, use the official login name record (from getlogin())
if there is one, rather than reverse-mapping the uid.
More to come...
connection timeout controllable by a new printcap(5) capability named
`ct' (connectiom timeout), defaulting to 120 seconds (which is the
default TCP connection timeout).
Would anybody see a problem with merging all this into RELENG_2_2?
with libc's version.
lpd: use getopt(3), err(3), add usage(), allow specification of a port #
on the command line as the documentation suggested for more than 10 years.

The removed files are no longer needed, they are actually labelled as
``Use only if you are not 4.4BSD''. (Yeah, the ol' crufty printcap.c
is really gone!)
Properly declare all external objects in files ending in .h, as
opposed to embed them into files ending in .c.
surprising how many trivial errors there have been... :-)
Some more cleanup is needed, but i'd like to separate the Lite2 changes
from other work, that's why this goes into a different commit.
People with serial printers should see whether i have broken the stty-
style printcap options (i hope not).
