dictd 1.8.0 released

[Rik F. <fa...@di...>]

Thanks to Aleksey Cheusov, a new version of dictd is available for
download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dict/ and from
ftp://ftp.dict.org (slow).

Many thanks to Aleksey for making the changes and enhancements necessary
for this release!

I think a summary of major changes is (did I miss anything major?):
    0) better 8bit, UTF-8, and i18n support
    1) dictfmt is now part of the dictd tarball
    2) dictd supports plugins
    3) dictd will use system libz when possible

Notes from the ChangeLog:

  fixed: crash while debugging output (80 chars limit)
  fixed: a lot of memory leaks. All they not critical because
         they happened during server initialisation only but
         I prefer to free memory explicitly.
  added: --no-mmap argument to 'dictd'
  ADDED: plug-in capability for DICTD.
         Using it you can develop alternative database formats,
         linguistic modules such as stemming/translator, "redirectors"
         to another dictd or on-line dictionaries such as Britannica, or
         even front-end to your favourite intra-net searchers such as
         mnogosearch and ht://Dig. Almost everything you want.

         See plugin.h and dictfmt_plugin for details

  added: --without-hw parameter to 'dictfmt'
  added: --headword-separator parameters to 'dictfmt'.
    allows several headwords to have the same definition.
    Example: autumn%%%fall if dictfmt is run with --headword-separator %%%
  added: locale verification both in 'dictfmt' and 'dictd'

  'dictfmt' now removes ending spaces for the head words

  downgrade to zlib-1.1.3 + double-free() patch

  I removed local_zlib=1 line in configure.in
    With this line
    both --with[out]-local-zlib arguments supplied to 'configure' will
    be ignored and local BUGGY zlib library will always be used.
    Now external zlib library will be used by default.

  added: possibility to search using all characters
    but the alphanumeric and space only.
    00-database-allchars special entry in the index file is used.

  changed: utf-8 search becomes faster

  changed: UTF-8 "suffix" search uses BMH but the RE.

  added: more efficient (probably) suffix search algorithm is implemented.
   Uses additional index file consisting of anagrams.

  added: utf-8 functions in utf8_ucs4.c
  added: argument '--test-strategy'
    it can be used for debugging.
  fixed: crash at fclose(NULL)
  fixed: crash of dictd with --ftest
  fixed: "8bit" bug in compare:index.c
  changed: comparions count in the debugging mode is calculated
    without optStart array initialization
  fixed: "8bit" bug in suffix/substring searching strategy
  changed: PRINTF and FPRINTF macroses.
    old variants cause problems with the nested if/else
  added: UTF-8 support
