Request for testing alevt 1.9.2-1 (added DVB support patch)

[Andreas Rottmann <a.rottmann@gmx.at>]

Hi! 

This is a call for testing of alevt 1.9.2-1, a Teletext/Video text
browser. If you are already an alevt user, or if you have TV hardware
capable of videotext (DVB or V4L), test reports using this version are
highly appreciated. Please also report successes, and include
information on the TV hardware and distribution version you tested with.

This version has the following patches applied (besides minor tweaks):

* DVB-T Support (Patch from <http://pluto.blackbone-ev.de/v1/AleVT mit
  DVB-T.html>)

* Russian (koi8-r) and Greek (iso8859-7) charset and font support
  (forward-ported from the patch in the contrib/ directory of upstream
  release)

alevt 1.9.2-1 has been uploaded to Debian experimental; see [0] for
instructions regarding using experimental, or download and install the
package "manually" from [1].

[1] http://packages.debian.org/experimental/alevt

The packages probably also work on Debian 5.0 (lenny) and recent Ubuntu
releases. 

For people not running Debian or a derivative, I have prepared a tarball
at [2] that has the same set of patches applied; just run "make" and run
the binaries out of the source directory (no need to install).
