Patch available for 3.0.6-pre-5

["Bart Schaefer" <schaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've made up another pre-patch for 3.0.6, which carries the version number
3.0.6-pre-5.  The set is now:
        ftp://ftp.brasslantern.com/pub/zsh/zsh-3.0.5-3.0.6-pre-0.diff
        ftp://ftp.brasslantern.com/pub/zsh/zsh-3.0.6-pre-0-pre-1.diff
        ftp://ftp.brasslantern.com/pub/zsh/zsh-3.0.6-pre-1-pre-2.diff
        ftp://ftp.brasslantern.com/pub/zsh/zsh-3.0.6-pre-2-pre-3.diff
        ftp://ftp.brasslantern.com/pub/zsh/zsh-3.0.6-pre-3-pre-4.diff
        ftp://ftp.brasslantern.com/pub/zsh/zsh-3.0.6-pre-4-pre-5.diff

Remember that after applying patches to 3.0.5, you must "touch stamp-h.in"
before running configure to prevent make from attempting to rerun autoconf
and autoheader.

Checksums on the latest diff:

(BSD)  61167   137
(SYSV) 60127 273 zsh-3.0.6-pre-4-pre-5.diff

The big change here is the 64-bit and large file support (thanks, Peter).
If you have a system where this is useful, please check this if you can.

This is the last "pre" release.  I plan to make a test release through
the official FTP site before the end of the month; if all goes well with
that, the final release will be in mid-July.

Remarks about this patch:

* After much consideration, taking into account the commentary elicited on
  the zsh-users list, I have decided that Greg Badros's ZLS_COLORS patches
  will have to wait for Peter to include them in 3.1.x.  Sorry, Greg; it
  did seem that there's enough support for it to be worth getting a GPL
  exemption from the FSF, but I'm swayed by the argument that fewer new
  features is better in the case of 3.0, so I've tried to pick up only bug
  fixes (including compatibility ones) since -pre-4.

* For the same reasons, I did not adapt Sven's PS4-promptpercent patch,
  though I waffled a lot about it.

* This patch is a unified diff (previously I've been doing context diffs)
  because it's 40% smaller that way.  It's still the largest patch in the
  set so far ....

* There are two primary reasons the patch is so big:
  1. 64-bit support makes many small changes in lots of files.
  2. I upgraded to autoconf 2.13, which exaggerates the configure diff.

* I haven't updated the META-FAQ, but will before the final release.  I'm
  also expecting Sven to fix the bug I reported in 6722.  Otherwise I do
  not plan on making any more changes before the test release, and of
  course only bugfixes after.

* Have I forgotten anything?
