3.1.9-dev-6

[Peter Stephenson <pws@xxxxxxx>]

[I sent this but it seems to have got lost.]

I have uploaded
  ftp://ftp.zsh.org/zsh/development/zsh-3.1.9-dev-6.tar.gz

Changes all seem to be fairly minor (which is why I haven't uploaded
anything before).

As things stand, the only thing I am at all likely to have a go at myself
before 4.0 is integrating the module system, unless somebody gets there
first.  I have a few ideas about doing this: something to go in configure,
and something to go in the source code module system will be necessary, and
maybe some extra installation hooks (though they may be OK already).  It
would probably be something like this: configure generates a file with
lists of modules (probably based on the .mdd files, which may therefore get
extended), functions and eventually (this won't happen without some extra
stuff in the documentation system) manual/info entries.  Unlike the present
system, this will completely describe all modules, so you can turn on and
off compilation and installation just by changing an entry --- e.g. if you
decide to add zftp to a system without dynamic loading, you just change
`no' to `yes' and the functions get installed, too.  This file is read by
everything which has to do with modules, and can be updated by hand
(probably configure therefore shouldn't modify an existing one).

One of the .mdd additions would probably be a variable indicating whether
to compile by default; currently, if you have dynamic loading, everything
automatically gets compiled, which will be less and less useful as we get
more and more specialised modules (I have a module which talks to our
Bluetooth chip, which isn't a lot of use for most people).

It would be good to compile a wishlist; I haven't got as far as writing
anything specific down.

Here are the changes this time.

2000-09-04  Peter Stephenson  <pws@xxxxxxx>

	* Config/version.mk: 3.1.9-dev-6

2000-09-04  Bart Schaefer  <schaefer@xxxxxxx>

	* 12733: Functions/Misc/colors: Restore `grey' and other
	accidentally-misplaced elements in the `fg*' and `bg*' arrays.

	* 12732: Src/params.c: Suppress base# prefix when base is 10 even
	if the [##base] format of 12722 was not used.

2000-09-03  Clint Adams  <schizo@xxxxxxxxxx>

	* 12728: Completion/User/_man: complete _files instead of
	manpages if -l or --local-file is present on the commandline.

2000-09-03  Bart Schaefer  <schaefer@xxxxxxx>

	* 12726,12727: Functions/Misc/zrecompile: Handle pass-through of
	all zcompile options.

2000-09-02  Bart Schaefer  <schaefer@xxxxxxx>

	* 12720: Completion/Debian/_dpkg: change two instances of
	_files to _path_files to avoid completion of all-files.

	* pws/Andrej: 12594, 12661: Src/zsh.rc, Src/zsh.ico, Src/Makefile.in,
	configure.in: basic support for Windows resources including icon,
	will be built in for cygwin.

	* Andrej: 12658: .cvsignore, Src/.cvsignore: cscope ignorance.

2000-08-16  Sven Wischnowsky  <wischnow@xxxxxxx>

	* Andrej: 12620: configure.in, Src/system.h: Fix cache variable
	test for mmap, remove cygwin special-case.

	* 12617: configure.in: Use AC_FUNC_MMAP rather than just test for
	existence of mmap.

	serious errors in zpathmax() but wrap it in #if 0 anyway; minor
	fixes to comments and coding style for zopenmax().

	* 12601: aczsh.m4, configure.in: configure --enable-cflags and the
