spiped 1.2.1 released

[Colin Percival]

Hi all,

I've just released spiped 1.2.1; the only non-documentation change is the
addition of an #include <stdint.h> in pushbits.c to fix the build breakage
there.

Note that I haven't added any workaround for the OS X (c99 -lrt fails) or
OpenBSD (<sys/socket.h> doesn't define required types) POSIX violations, so
those platforms will still need patches to build spiped.

If there's any other build breakage, please let me know!

I've submitted a port [0] to OpenBSD with the appropriate patches, so
hopefully it will get imported.

Cool, hopefully this will get more people using spiped.

Two minor suggestions:

1. In the FreeBSD port I'm installing the spiped and spipe README files as
README-foo, while you're installing them as README.foo; I think there's a
(very weak) argument to be made for consistency in the names these are
installed under.

2. I don't know how compatible OpenBSD's rc.d code is with FreeBSD's, but
you might find that the rc.d script I wrote for FreeBSD is useful, either
as-is or as an inspiration for an OpenBSD rc.d script:

I've taken your considerations into account and submitted an updated
port [0]. I changed the README naming style to use hyphens rather then dots.

I also included a simple rc script. OpenBSD's pkg rc.d system isn't as
complex as FreeBSD's so the rc script uses the ssh tunnel example for
it's default daemon flags.

I updated my homebrew repo with 1.2.1 and about to send a pull request.
After reading the discussion here I realized I wasn't installing
README files to the documentation directory and while on it, I
realized README of spipe has a single char typo where usage line says
'spiped' instead of 'spipe'. I also patch this along with '-lrt'
removal from LDADD. It's a minor error but I will hold sending a pull
request until I get a reply from you. The options I can think of are:
1) fix and release 1.2.2, 2) fix it in 1.2.1 and ask package
maintainers to update the checksums (ugh!) 3) ignore it until the next
release.

Here's my commit.

*sigh*

Obviously I need to get more careful when I copy material from one program
to reuse for another...

I've fixed it in my tree (along with removing a couple of unnecessary
object files which were being linked into the spipe code), and I'm inclined
to release a version 1.2.2... but not quite yet. Given that this is a
non-critical issue, I'll wait a week or so in case any more problems get
noticed -- I don't want to end up doing a 1.2.3 as well!
