	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

Things to be done.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
0. Fix the bugs (see BUGS-parport).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Proper documentation.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
2. A better lp.c:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   a) ECP support would be nice.  This can only work if both the port and
 | 
						|
      the printer support it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   b) Handle status readback automatically.  IEEE1284 printers can post status
 | 
						|
      bits when they have something to say.  We should read out and deal 
 | 
						|
      with (maybe just log) whatever the printer wants to tell the world.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
3. Support more hardware (eg m68k, Sun bpp).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
4. A better PLIP (make use of bidirectional/ECP/EPP ports).
