dvi2ps

[Barry deFreese <bddebian@comcast.net>]

Hi folks,

dvi2ps is the last hold-out to drop vflib2.  I have created a patch to 
make dvi2ps use vflib3 (which needs more testing from someone more 
knowledgeable than me).

However, dvi2ps also has an RC bug as it still uses freetype1.  I have 
worked on this quite a bit and not even the freetype folks seem to be 
able to help me much.

texlive-base-bin has dvips.  Is that a sufficient replacement for 
dvi2ps?  Should dvi2ps just be removed?  It's only rdepends are the 
dvi2ps-fontdata packages, of which dvi2ps-fontdata-ja seems to be the 
most widely used.  Is dvipsk-ja a decent replacement for that?

Does anyone have any opinions?  I'm happy to help wherever I can but I 
would like to at least get vflib2 dropped.

Thanks,

Barry deFreese
