[Remind-Fans] Remind 3.4.0 Beta 2 - with correct download links this time

[hymie!]

My machine tells me that I have 1.16 ...

% pkg-config cairo --modversion 
1.16.0

... but lots of other stuff (pango, glib) is pretty old, so I'll try
your patch ...  but I may have to resign myself to waiting for the next
full system upgrade. :(

Nope, your patch worked!!!

However, I found another bug.  rem2pdf does not honor the older
SHADE ### (with only one number)

I made this change around line 236 of PDF.pm (I'm not enough of a programmer
to use git or generate an actual patch)

        if ($hash->{passthru}) {
                if ($hash->{passthru} =~ /^(shade|color|colour)$/i) {
                        if ($hash->{body} =~ /^\s*(\d+)\s+(\d+)\s+(\d+)/) {
                                $hash->{r} = $1;
                                $hash->{g} = $2; 
                                $hash->{b} = $3;
                        }
                        elsif ($hash->{body} =~ /^\s*(\d+)/) {  
                                $hash->{r} = $1;
                                $hash->{g} = $1;
                                $hash->{b} = $1;
                        }
                }
        }
        return $hash;

Although I suppose a better idea would be to update my .remind files
to change SHADE xxx to SHADE xxx xxx xxx (same number each time).
But it's still in the man page as allowed, so ...

--hymie!
