cpdb-libs 2.0b4

[tillkamppeter]

In the forth beta release for cpdb-libs 2.0.0 we have now added a make check test and promoted the sample frontend as a developing and testing tool.

• Added test script for make test/make check
  The script tools/run-tests.sh runs the cpdb-text-frontend text mode example frontend and stops it by supplying "stop" to its standard input.
• Allow changing the backend info directory via env variable
  To make it possible to test backends which are not installed into the system, one can now set the environment variable CPDB_BACKEND_INFO_DIR to the directory where the backend info file for the backend is, for example in its source tree.
• Install sample frontend with make install
  We use the sample frontend cpdb-text-frontend for several tests now, especially "make check" and also the autopkgtests in the Debian/Ubuntu packages. They are also useful for backend developers for manual testing.
• Renamed develping/debug tools
  As we install the development and debugging tools now, they should be more easily identifiable as part of CPDB. Therefore they get cpdb--prefixed names.
• cpdb-text-frontend: Use larger and more easily adjustable string buffers
• Fixed segfault in the frontend library
  cpdbResurrectPrinterFromFile(), when called with an invalid file name, caused a crash.
