[Mdate-devel] CVS updates + changes

[<mda...@li...>]

oookk,

gmdate has been moved to a module of its own, so i can integrate variants like
gnomedate and mdate_applet (which have been written) for when Debian 3.0 comes
out, cos my setup is too flakey for gnome atm.

libmdate and mdate have been updated to provide a simple (yet still buggy)
correlation flag between our default correlation and the GMT one. Its buggy
because the commandline parser is at its limits and really needs to be
rewritten more simply(?) or at least to the point where changes aren't so
wide-ranging.

known bugs:
	mdate -g only outputs "pretty" view.
	mdate -p -g does NOT work.
	gmdate does not support correlation options.
	-g should really support ANY requested correlation with an option within
	intelligent limits (i think the range of "accepted" correlations is
	within the range of 584282-58429?).

libmdate-specific changes are:
- commented-out the unimplemented interfaces
- added typedef double corr for passing correlations to the appropriate
  functions, and an extra GMT_CORRELATION 
- said functions rewritten to handle passed correlations
- misc cleanups of irrelevant comments, etc.

everything has been updated to use the Debian-packaged 2.5x
autoconf/autoheader/autoreconf code. automake has NOT been updated, since it
breaks a lot of things, so we're safe from that.

the documentation has been only mininmally updated, and NO file releases
except cvs nightlys will be made from this code until we sort the bugs out.

the debian stuff desperately needs updating and adding to the mdate and gmdate
modules.

contributions gratefully accepted :)
