[Codestriker-user] using an alternate installation path

[David C. <dcc...@gm...>]

I like to install the new version of CS to a path that coexists with the
deployed version, allowing me to test new features, integrate my own changes
and make sure they still work, etc.

To do this, I have two entries in my httpd.conf file, one for the deployed
version
  http://<host>/codestriker/...
and one for the test version
  http://<host>/codestriker_tst/...

I also have to change codestriker_css in codestriker.conf for the test
version, since the URL will include the "_tst" suffix.  One place where this
does not work (1.9.6) is the calculation of the help URL (doc_url).  The
diff below shows how I fixed it.  I'm not sure why the greedy "?" qualifier
did not work correctly, but the result for me is $htmlurl becomes "http:"
and therefore doc_url is wrong.  My solution is simpler, in that you do not
need a greedy qualifier.
