[Slackbuilds-users] sqg for teapot

[Jude DaShiell]

Thanks for doing the fixes.  I was about to contact the developer when I
found one of the packages necessary to generate the documentation in
/usr/share/doc/teapot-2.30/INSTALL wasn't available on slackware.  Two
other packages mentioned are available in slackbuilds though.
