And here we go for a big bunches of updates!

Bump ScreenSavers to v0.16.N!
* Updated sort binary (updated coreutils & TC)
* Same few fixes as the fonts hack (update trap, usb watchdog, cleanups, mount checks).

Bump Fonts to v4.0.N!
* Tweaked the usb-watchodg (Way cleaner handling of false-positives & race conditions)
* Don't trap duokan & font_pkg update files.
* Updated fc-scan binary (updated fontconfig & TC, slightly more dynamically linked)
* Multiples fixes to the browser fonts handling (proper config generation, and make sure the cache gets generated in the right place)
* Way saner checks to avoid applying the hack twice.
* A few code cleanups.
* And the big new feature: You can now override the freetype library used. Which means you can get, for example, FT's autohinter (like fw 2.x) on a K3

. Check the first post for details

.

Bump USBNetwork to v0.29.N!
* Updated all the binaries (Updated TC)
* The busybox binary now includes the httpd applet
* Passwordless SSH login no matter what when connecting from localhost
* A few code cleanups
* Properly fix the switch back to usbms when using the autoboot feature, and properly fix nearly all instances of 'nothing is exported over usb' weirdness. (Just don't update/boot with USB plugged in).

I also updated the x-tc archive accordingly

.

In each case, the changes are fairly consequent, so, to avoid any weird issues, I recommend doing a full restart after updating all your hacks

.

@mods: Thanks for the thread title update
