New apsfilter 5.1.0 released
Port related changes:
- apsfilter port isn't interactive anymore, we can now put it onto FreeBSD CD 1
- use bzip2 for apsfilter sources to save space on FreeBSD Disk 1
- new run dependency to recode and a2ps
- when BATCH is defined set PAPERSIZE to a4, to avoid problems with a2ps port
- updated DESCR (listed some of the new apsfilter features)
- updated PLIST
- new post-install target to inform people to run SETUP to complete installation
Apsfilter related changes:
- new supported file types (BMP, FAX G3, troff)
- possible to print in different print resolutions (see example in INSTALL),
  i.e.: lpr -P{low,med,high} some_files...
- ghostscript can make use of additional type1 fonts by setting the gs
  environment variable GS_FONTPATH. gs automatically recognizes
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 and
        /var/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
  if present. Other Paths can be configured global or printer type
  dependend by admin or user as usual. See precedence of apsfilterrc
  and .apsfilterrc files above.
- printer driver type dependend config files in that order:
        - /etc/apsfilterrc
        - /etc/apsfilterrc.${PRINTER}
	and if defined INSECURE:
        - $HOME/.apsfilterrc
        - $HOME/.apsfilterrc.${PRINTER}
- CRLF translation and perforation skip for more HP models
- new environment variable USE_RECODE_NOT_A2PS, so you can use
  reecode as an alternative over a2ps
- new environment variable RECODE_OPTS
  defaults to "-q latin1:ibmpc"
- new environment variable PAGES_REVERSE_ORDER for forcing dvips
  to print in reverse order
- detection of printer resolution revamped and more clear
- Precedence of definition of print resolution:
        a) by name of filter script (symlink to apsfilter)
        b) by setting GS_RESOL in apsfilterrc config files
        c) autodetected by apsfilter (PS_xxx, printer driver name)
	d) otherwise defaults to 300dpi (for dvips commandline)
- some dvips settings cleanup, use -Z only when resol >= 400dpi
- when printing html use some sane defaults for HTML2PS_OPTS
  if not set in apsfilterrc files
