* Converted memory managment to Glib. Now we use g_new()/g_malloc()/
g_strdup()/g_free() routings. Also, copy_strings() replaced by
g_strconcat(), strcasecmp() -> g_strcasecmp(),and sprintf() by
g_snprintf().
* Some sequences of malloc()/sprintf() changed to g_strdup_printf().
* mad.[ch]: Modified, to work with new GLib's memory managment. Fixed
a missing #undef for tempnam, which caused dead loop. Add several new
functions to emulate GLib memory managment.
*main.c, mad.[ch]: Add a new switch "-M", which allows to redirect MAD
messages to the file.
* util.[ch], utilunix.c: Modified, deleted our variants of strcasecmp()
and strdup() - we have g_ equivalences. Remove get_full_name() - it is
similar to concat_dir_and_file(). Some other tricks with g_* functions.
* global.h: Modified, extended. Now it is main memory mangment include -
i.e. all inclusions of <stdlib.h>, <malloc.h>, <glib.h>, "fs.h", "mem.h",
"util.h" and "mad.h" done there. This elimanates problem with proper or-
der of #include's.
* All around the source - changed order of #include's, most of them gone
to global.h (see above), minor changes, like "0" -> NULL in string func-
tions.
Added single file filesystem (sfs)
Added vfs_flags so library users can disable selected filesystems
Minor shuffling of functions so garbage collection works for library
The VFS code can now be used by other applications (if you compile the
libvfs.a target and link against this).
Syntax has changes internally from the url-like syntax to a new syntax
that does not have ambiguities. A default conversor for the new syntax
will be provided in the future, also dealing with the user ~/.mc/ext files
is currently in a non-optimal state.
Keep an eye on this mailing list.

* utilunix.c, util.h (errno_dir_not_empty): deleted

* file.c (check_dir_is_empty): New function which takes a path and
returns -1 on error, 1 if there are no entries besides "." and
".." in the directory path points to, 0 else. This function
actually opens and reads the directory and doesn't do tricks we
used to do with rmdir.
* file.c (erase_dir, erase_dir_iff_empty): Use check_dir_is_empty
to detect non empty directories. The old code tried to remove the
directory and decided on errno whether the failure of rmdir was
caused by a non empty directory or whether there was a different
error.
Unfortunatly not every filesystem sets errno to EDIRNOTEMPTY if
you try to delete a non empty directory. Namely the linux user
space nfs server sets errno to EIO, Suns nfs server sets it to
EEXIST and the AIX nfs server sets it to ??? (Steve reported
problems on AIX so I guess AIX sets errno to a value we currently
don't check).
