CTAN submission -- fontinst update

----- Forwarded message from Walter Schmidt -----
I have uploaded the file fi-update.zip to the /incoming directory 
at dante.ctan.org.  It includes up-to-date 8y.etx and 8r.etx files
with Euro character, to go into the fontinst "pre-release"  

These .etx files match the corresponding encoding vectors 
texnansi.enc and 8r.enc now.  (The latter was recently updated 
together with PSNFSS version 9.)

Please, unzip fi-update.zip in the CTAN directory 
fonts/utilities/fontinst-prerelease.  Doing so will overwrite the 
following files:

  inputs/etx/8r.etx
  inputs/etx/8y.etx
  manifest.tex
  manifest.txt

I have to ftp.dante.de uploaded an archive fontinst.tar.gz into /incoming.
It contains the new fontinst release (v1.926), and the license is as usual
the LPPL.

I think the following will be the best course of action with this:

....
2. Place the archive contents in fonts/utilities/fontinst.

3. Delete the fontinst-prerelease hierarchy, and replace it with a link to
its fontinst sibling. The reason for making a link is that there are are
references to fontinst-prerelease here and there on the 'net, and it seems
unnecessary to break them.
