dpkg 1.1.4[elf]: many reasonably minor bugfixes

[Ian Jackson <ian@chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk>]

This version should be less dreadful than 1.1.3 for those trying to
compile on non-i386, and `make portable' to produce a dpkg-deb binary
on non-Linux systems should work better now.

There are both ELF and a.out versions here.  NEITHER should go in the
stable tree.  I don't particularly mind which you put in the
unstable tree; please put the other in project/experimental.  I'm not
uploading a `nondebbin' release this time - that can wait for a more
stable version.

dpkg (1.1.4); priority=MEDIUM

  * Allow overwriting of conflicting packages being removed.  (Bug#2614.)

  * a.out control file says Pre-Depends: libc4 | libc.  (Bug#2640.)
  * ELF control file and libc dependencies changed to use finalised scheme.
  * ELF control file and libc dependencies for i386 only.  (Bug#2617.)

  * Guidelines say use only released libraries and compilers.
  * Install wishlist as /usr/doc/dpkg/WISHLIST.
  * Remove spurious entries for Guidelines in info dir file.

  * dpkg-deb --build checks permissions on control (DEBIAN) directory.

  * Spaces in control file fields not copied by dpkg-split.  (Bug#2633.)
  * Spaces in split file part control data ignore.  (Bug#2633.)

  * Portability fixes, including patch from Richard Kettlewell.
  * Fixed minor configure.in bug causing mangled GCC -W options.
