Dirk Krause's tools 2.2.24

_{Version 3 under construction, previews are
available.}

Overview

In May 2010 I merged several formerly separated projects into the dktools project.
I hope this results in easier maintenance for me and in easier installation for the users to have the formerly ``dklibs'', ``bmeps'', ``fig2vect'', ``jlayout'', ``genau'', ``dktools'', ``fchksum'', ``tcptool'', ``hostsadm'', ``fsnmp'', ``yanolc'' and ``prqd'' projects in one package now.
