Patch Revision History:

2007-03-17 (v1.0.0)
The Graphviz package is used to produce charts and graphs by other applications included in a NST distribution (such as 'ntop'). Unfortunately, the 1.5.0 release of the NST is missing the necessary file: "/usr/local/lib/graphviz/config". As a result, when one runs a command like: "dot -Tpng -Goverlap=false /var/nst/ntop/ntop.dot -o /tmp/ntop.png", the command will fail and one will see the error message: "Renderer type: "png" not recognized. Use one of: dia hpgl mif mp pcl pic vtx". This patch will install the necessary file so that the Graphviz programs (dot, dotty, ...) will work.
