Description: The Sleuth Kit (TSK)

This packages doesn't currently works and have showed some strange issues that
didn't appeared when <afflib/afflib.h> and <afflib/afflib_.h> was used (instead
of using the appropriate AFFLIB_CFLAGS).

Problem is:
/usr/include/afflib/afflib_i.h:343: error: redefinition of typedef 'AFFILE'
/usr/include/afflib/afflib.h:102: error: previous declaration of 'AFFILE' was here
*** [libtskimg_la-img_open.lo] Error 1

* This can be solved inside the afflib package by removing the AFFILE occurence
at l.383 of afflib_i.h
* On the other hand, this file is not meant to be used by the dependent
application, despite the dual header include (<afflib/afflib.h> and
<afflib/afflib_.h>) was submitted by the afflib developer to the sleutkit one.

* For some reasons, the linking properties of the libtsk.la are inherited by the
different binaries. I don't know how this can be avoided. This make the binaries
linked to unneeded library, and suggest that srch_strings (which is GPLv2+) is
linked against afflib (which is BSD with advertising), which is forbidden (even
if it probably don't use it directly).

Patch have been submitted to the different upsteam for advices.

@livinded
Your help would be welcome to maintain this package. I hope to have most of the
patches merged so the update will be easier. But a good reviewer is still missing.
