[lcd4linux] old ancient legacy port access disabled

[Michael R. <mi...@re...>]

Hello all,

today I decided to disable the old direct raw parallel port access in LCD4Linux (using outb() and so on)

If you really need it, you can enable it with configure --with-outb

I don't want to remove the code completely (in about 15 years, I want to show my kids that "bit banging" wasn't obscene :-)

I cannot test it completely, because I don't have any parallel ports available here, and I don't have any non-x86 
machines to test.

But I hope that now debian builds on non-x86 architectures don't fail (I got some error reports for sparc, mipsel, 
powerpc, s390)


Maybe someone can do some testing?


regards, Michael
