422: various fixes

It was reported that 4.3pre-beta has an old version. Yes, the latest, version 2009.4.4, is in the initrd, but I neglected to update the PET package in the main filesystem. Fixed.

SQLiteManager
Lobster would like this back. Yeah, why not... the PET package is only 84KB. This is an addon for SeaMonkey. There is also SQLiteDBMS, PET package 108KB, but I think it is ...perhaps... less mature. In 4.3 pre-beta I had both in, pre-beta-reloaded neither.

Fontconfig
Coolpup reported that 4.3 pre-beta doesn't have fontconfig. Er, yes it does.

Hardinfo
Coolpup posted the latest version PET package to me, version 0.5.1. Yes, the version in 4.3pre-beta is rather old. I grabbed the source and compiled it, now in Puppy.

"Hi Barry when I made the hardinfo package for 2.14X I edited the code and only used about 6 of the icons and just repeated each in the sub-directories, saved about 200kb extract or 40kb compressed compared to the last version you compiled. here's the 164kb pet package I made up, should work on anything. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=19681 and what it looks like :) [img]http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=19682[/img] ttuuxxx

Less icons

"Ttuuxxx, Yes, when I saw all those icons, I thought it was a bit much and something should be done about it. Thanks, you have done it!
