Re: taper algo change

Not to toot my own horn too much, but I'm very happy with last night's
amanda run with the taperwait patch. I ended up with two full tapes and
no wasted space.
Note:
- if autoflush is true, the taper will write a dump on startup.
- If you get into a mode where you only have one dumper performing
dumps, a dump will get written when that dumper completes even if more
dumps are to be done.
Neither of these scenarios is a big concern to me.
I've put RH8 bin and src rpms on ftp://ftp.cora.nwra.com/software/linux
if anyone would like them. These include the taperwait configuration,
the largestfit patch to NOT write a dump that won't fit if more dumps
are coming in, and a patch to abort a dump if the holding disk fills up
and there was a taper error.
