[ITP]: aalib-1.4.0


Hi,

I've been working on getting ggi packaged, but I noticed one of the 
optional libraries was aalib.  I knew that we already had a package for 
figlet, so I thought the project would be interested in this library. 
 This was provided as a package in 1998 for B19, but has since been 
deprecated AFAIK.  You can do some pretty interesting things with it 
such as ascii stereograms and ascii fractals.  Also, it is a support 
library for both gtk and ImagMagik.  Finally, IMHO, it beats the pants 
off of netpbm for converting graphics to ascii art.  If you want more 
info, check out: http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/aalib/

It builds OOTB with minor tweaks, so if there is no objections, I'll 
package it up and provide the necessary hint files and such.

Cheers,
Nicholas
