Branch: CURRENT, Version: 3.32, Package name: ascii-3.32, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

This is a handy little utility that recognizes many different ways of
naming an ASCII character (hex, octal, binary, decimal, C escape, ISO
character table pair, slang names, and others) and prints out all the
equivalents. A CGI script that can be used to enable access over the
Web is included.

Log message:
*: Move SUBST_STAGE from post-patch to pre-configure

Performing substitutions during post-patch breaks tools such as mkpatches,
making it very difficult to regenerate correct patches after making changes,
and often leading to substituted string replacements being committed.
