Modules 3.1.0 almost ready

[R.K. O. Ph.D. <rk...@Ow...>]

I'm about ready to release modules 3.1.0, which includes several
improvements, and most notably it's GPL.  I've communicated with
the original authors (primarily John Furlan & Jens Hamisch) who
have agreed to change the BSD-like license to GPL.

Here is a summary of changes so far:
	* Removed warning message for unloading a module that's not loaded.
	* Added source code cross-referencing via cxref-1.5b(patched)
	  (see http://www.gedanken.demon.co.uk/cxref/ for details).
	* Changed the long format, eliminated the release column as a separate
	  entity.  The release value is just part of the package name.
	* Added --with-dot.ext[=<.ext>] to configure & DOT_EXT to config.h
	  for an extension to be added to the shell dot-file names for the
	  "module init*" commands
	* Addes .modules to dot file list for "init*" commands (Magnus Holmberg)	* Matched the "help" and "man module" optional commands more closely
	* Fixed man pages it's .modulerc not .modulesrc
	* Made it easier to ftp distribution to metalab.unc.edu
	* Fixed init/perl & init/tcsh (due to Robert Minsk).
	* Fixed "module list" to show paths deeper than 2 levels
	  (due to Robert Minsk).
	* Fixed warning message about `alias' to non-sh/csh derivatives
	  (due to Robert Minsk).
	* Fixed tests with regards to syslogging & alias.
	* Licensed changed to GPL.

I have put the sources under a different CVS project name (note it below).
This will download the current checked-in version

cvs -d :pserver:mo...@ko...:/usr/src/cvsroot login
        give it "modules4all" as the password
cvs -d :pserver:mo...@ko...:/usr/src/cvsroot checkout modules-3.1

For a brief HOWTO on CVS read http://kooz.sj.ca.us/rkowen/howto/cvsF.html .

To contribute code patches, please "cvs diff -u" them against
the modules CVS repository.

Give it a try and let me know if you have any improvements and
bug fixes.
