[Ifeffit] star parser to be installed for Horae

[Carlo Segre]

Hi Denis:

Yes, installing libstar-parser-perl is the solution.  When I first made 
the packages, I deliberately made this package a "Suggests" instead of a 
"Depends" of the horae package.  The reason is that libstar-parser-perl is 
non-free and eventually I wanted horae to be in the main distribution. 
With Bruce's new demeter programs, which I am in the process of packaging, 
it will be possible to do this as the dependency of ifeffit on pgplot5 
will no longer be necessary.
