Big bugfix [fullermd@users.sourceforge.net: cvs commit: libpostal KNOWN_BUGS TODO libpostal/tools mkmakefiles.pl]

[Matthew D. F. <ful...@ov...>]

We've had a problem in the Makefile-building script I didn't even notice
until someone pointed it out to me.

The script uses a (stupid) heuristic to figure out where the root of your
libpostal build tree is, then uses that to locate some data files.
Unfortunately, if the root path wasn't /some/path/that/ends/in/libpostal/
the heuristic would puke totally.  This broke *ALL* of the SNAPshot's,
because they're extracted as /some/where/libpostal-SNAP#/.


Still open current bugs:
- Derivation of From_ headers in mbox's is still broken in many cases
- There MAY still be a bug hidden in pop_list() that will cause it to
	segfault


Once these bugs get sorted out, I'll be cutting another SNAPshot, then
moving on to finishing the mbox support and writing the Maildir/
functions.

  Modified files:
    .                    KNOWN_BUGS TODO 
    tools                mkmakefiles.pl 
  Log:
  Use a less *TOTALLY* braindead heuristic in determining where the root of
  the tree is.
  
  Use the fact that we're always called as "...../../tools/mkmakefiles.pl",
  and just trim back to "....../..".  It's vaguely fugly, but it works.
  
  This fixes the bug where SNAP's will fail to build because the top-level
  dir isn't called libpostal/.
