- 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...
printjob.c: Use termios instead of sgtty structs and ioctls; remove
support for fs/fc/xs/xc capabilities, and replace them with the ms
capability (stty-like words, instead of octal bit patterns).
modes.c: Modified from stty's file, parses comma-seperated list of
tty modes (e.g., "cs8,-paren,-opost").
