Changes to the Packages Collection in February 1999
===================================================
We made an addition to the top-level pkgsrc Makefile, so that by
specifying various *_SPECIFIC_PKGS definitions in /etc/mk.conf, only
specific packages will be used for the SUBDIR target. pkg_delete has
now had a '-r' argument added to it - this deletes any pre-requisite
(DEPENDS) packages. And thanks go to Rene Hexel for making gtk+-1.0
and gtk+-1.1 co-exist.
Notable additions to the packages collection include: communicator
and navigator, more cross-compilation environments, delegate, nessus,
netname and trn.
Notable updates to packages include: amanda (split into client and
server parts, with a meta-package to get them both), bash, clisp,
ethereal, fetchmail, imap-uw, jdk, kde (thanks, Matthias), lsof (NOTE
THE SECURITY ADVISORY ABOUT THIS PACKAGE), lyx, mutt, openldap, samba,
windowmaker, and xosview.

Changes to the Packages Collection itself
=========================================
Added specific package handling to the top-level Makefile, allowing
the specification of individual packages by using the
SITE_SPECIFIC_PKGS, HOST_SPECIFIC_PKGS, GROUP_SPECIFIC_PKGS,
and USER_SPECIFIC_PKGS when SPECIFIC_PKGS is defined.
[agc 1999-02-21]
Added `recursive' delete to pkg_delete to remove packages
that require the package being deleted [chopps 1999-02-26]
