- Get rid of a lot of the static variables which were shared by
many routines and programs in the suite.
- Create an abstract interface to the printcap database, so that
other retrieval and iteration mechanisms could be developed
(e.g., YP, Hesiod, or automatic retrieval from a trusted server).
- Give each capability a human-readable name in addition to the historic
two-character one.
- Otherwise generally clean up a lot of dark corners. Many still remain.
- When submitting jobs, use the official login name record (from getlogin())
if there is one, rather than reverse-mapping the uid.

diffes with NetBSD/OpenBSD. These changes seem to predate the NetBSD/OpenBSD
split, so it is hard to give proper credit for them.

The removed files are no longer needed, they are actually labelled as
``Use only if you are not 4.4BSD''. (Yeah, the ol' crufty printcap.c
is really gone!)
Properly declare all external objects in files ending in .h, as
opposed to embed them into files ending in .c.
surprising how many trivial errors there have been... :-)
Some more cleanup is needed, but i'd like to separate the Lite2 changes
from other work, that's why this goes into a different commit.
People with serial printers should see whether i have broken the stty-
style printcap options (i hope not).
