Bug#516351: see update



Here's what's going on:
0.54 is done, I just have to test it for a few days and redo parts of 
the man page.  The changes are:
-the package name will remain "see", but the executable will be seetxt, 
with a softlink from seeman for loading man pages.
-the man page check now uses the return value of man (instead of 
checking for "No " in the stderr output), so it should work regardless 
of the locale/language of the system
-the "-x" switch is now implimented for server calls
-corrected an oversight whereby when watching a file <250k, if the file 
grows over 250k, see switched to chunk-buffering rather than tailing 
(which would have been the case if the file was loaded initially at 
>250k) to rather silly and irritating effect.
-replaced getline() to make "see" POSIX compliant. 

So the site (there is only one source, btw, freshmeat links to that) 
will be updated by the end of the week, I will post here and it should 
be ready to package.
