[ANNOUNCE] ddpt, version 0.94 available

[Douglas Gilbert]

ddpt is yet another variant of the venerable Unix dd command
line utility. This version adds application side support for
a second offloaded copy mechanism defined by T10 around two
years ago and already on the market under the name ODX.

Changelog for ddpt-0.94 [20140407] [svn: r277]
   - xcopy: change default to send xcopy command to dst
     - add XCOPY_TO_SRC and XCOPY_TO_DST environment
       variables to guide where to send xcopy command
   - odx: add new offloaded copy technique, also known
     as "xcopy v2, lite", that exposes ROD Tokens
     - ddpt supports 4 odx variants: full copy, zero
       output blocks, read to tokens and write from
       tokens. Latter two facilitate network copies
     - add scatter-gather list capability to seek=,
       skip= to read from command line, file or stdin
   - ddptctl: add odx helper utility
     - can issue individual PT, WUT, RRTI, Report All
       Rod Tokens, and Copy Operation Abort commands
     - can decode T10 defined info in Rod Token
   - improve CL handling of short options (e.g. '-vv')
   - point svn:externals to rev 563 of sg3_utils
   - configure: add --disable-libsgutils option so
     build bypasses that library if present
