Unofficial Module 3.0 Beta 1 Patch 1

[Ian F. <fl...@cs...>]

Hello folks!

Well, I don't know how many of you are in the same boat as I am, but I
decided that since no response was forthcoming from the maintainers,
I'd release a patch to Modules 3.0 Beta1.  This is *purely* a bugfix
release--no features were added.  (Though some features which *didn't*
*work* now do.  Here is the list of changes:

        * Makefile.in: added config.cache, config.h, and config.log to
        list of files removed by `make distclean'.  (Probably appeared due
        to newer version of autoconf.)
 
        * modulefile.4.in: Fixed a formatting bug that caused some info to
        get lost when the document was rendered.
 
        * probetcl: Completely re-wrote probetcl to be a bit more robust.
 
        * main.c (main): Fixed options string passed to `getopt_long'.
        (Added a `+' on the front to surpress the GNU behavior which broke
        any module command options.)  Fixed a bug in options processing
        that *never* would have had any effect.  But it bugged me, so I
        fixed it.
 
        * cmdXResource.c: Added `#ifdef's around the prototype for
        `storeResProp' so it compiles when --without-x is set.
 
        * cmdModule.c (cmdModule): Fixed bug that caused all `module
        init*' commands to fail do to initPtr getting clobbered.  I used
        goto's to do it, which is gross, but prettier.
 
        * ModuleCmd_Load.c (ModuleCmd_Load), cmdSetenv.c (cmdSetenv): got
        plain environment variable aliases working.  Now $HOME is the same
        as $env(HOME), at least most of the time.  When `setenv' is used,
        both get updated.  Note that setting $HOME doesn't change
        $env(HOME) or cause the environment to get updated.
 
        * ModuleCmd_Avail.c (ModuleCmd_Avail, print_terse_files): added
        braces to disambiguate an else clause.  Also fixed colum bug.
        Both fixes courtesy of Eric Berggren.
 
        * Makefile.in, doc/Makefile.in, init/Makefile.in, configure.in:
        Added support for the --program-transform name option to
        configure.  Unfortunately, it only gets used on the actual
        *program*, not the init files.

The patch is rather large, so I've put it in two places:

    http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~flan/patch1-flan
and
    ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/pub/UNIX_UPLOADS/Modules3.0Beta1.patch1-flan
    ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/pub/UNIX_UPLOADS/Modules3.0Beta1.patch1-flan.txt

Let me know if you have any problems with installing the patch or
compiling once the patch is installed.

I intend to distribute patches for any other bugs that I find as well.
I am also going to be releasing some enhancements before too long.  If
you have a suggestion or something, please let me know.

I hope this helps.
