apt 0.5.4.9 release
I have just uploaded apt 0.5.4.9 to http://people.debian.org/~doogie/apt/.
The changes is included below.
Highlights:
* New version comparison function.
* APT::Cache-Limit increased.
* Lots of builddep fixes.
* Recompiled with g++ 3.2.
* Increase size limits for arguments when calling dpkg.
* apt is now translatable.
As for that last one, I would like it those language translators would check
out apt from cvs, and send in translated files to -deity.
Also, debian-deity@lists is now completely open, and not a -digest list.

dependent build dependencies. Bump minor shared lib number to reflect
