* lib/mc.sh.in: Use "rm -f" to delete temporary files. Use

"export -f" to have mc() exported.
        * doc/mc.1.in: Changed description of the "-P" option to
        avoid inclusion of mc.sh and mc.csh into the manual.
        Corrected paths of mc.hlp, mc.no_proxy and ~/mc/Tree.

At program end, the Midnight Commander will print the last working
directory; this, along with the shell function below, will allow you
to browse through your directories and automatically move to the last
directory you were in (thanks to Torben Fjerdingstad and Sergey for
contributing this function and the code which implements this option).
Please don't add verbatim copies of the function definitions below. Source the
files @prefix@/lib/mc/bin/mc.sh (bash and zsh users) respectively
@prefix@/lib/mc/bin/mc.csh (tcsh users) instead. This way you will not
need to change your profiles if the function definitions are improved,
provided that you don't compile MC with a different prefix.
