If you navigate in your shell to a directory containing symlinks and
then start mc, mc will show the canonical path instead. It would be nice
to make it show the directory with the symlinks.
Example: in your shell execute these:
user:~$ mkdir -p /tmp/a/b /tmp/x ; ln -s /tmp/a/b /tmp/x/y
user:~$ cd /tmp/x/y
user:/tmp/x/y$ mc
In mc you'll find yourself in /tmp/a/b, though it'd be nicer to see
/tmp/x/y at the top, and correspondingly navigating to the parent would
take you to /tmp/x.
If you start bash or zsh from /tmp/x/y, the new instance will start
displaying the working directory as such. They do this via the PWD env
variable. On one hand, they set and maintain PWD to point to the current
directory, using the path as specified by the user (possibly containing
symbolic links). On the other hand, they check its value at startup. If
$PWD points to the same physical directory as the actual working
directory then they use this value. If $PWD points somewhere else then
it's simply ignored (so it's a hint only as to which symlinks to use to
get to the working directory, but never alters the actual cwd).
Now mc also does the same at startup (with respect of "Cd follows
links" option). Relative directories specified in the command line are
applied after possibly replacing the canonical cwd with $PWD. This way
for example
user:/tmp/x/y$ mc . ..
opens two panels in /tmp/x/y and /tmp/x instead of /tmp/a/b and /tmp/a
(whereas /tmp/x is actually a different directory than /tmp/a).

When there's no mc-tmpdir and a user tries to start two mc sessions
simultaneously, sometimes (in one out of ten attempts on my machine) one
mc session emits the following error message:
Cannot create temporary directory /tmp/mc-lars: File exists (17)
Temporary files will be created in /tmp
Press any key to continue...
Steps to reproduce:
# rm /tmp/mc-$(whoami) -rf
# uxterm -e mc & uxterm -e mc

* get rid of extra memory duplication;
* support of recursive search of correct encoding;
* add tests.
Signed-off-by: Andrew Borodin <aborodin@vmail.ru>
Steps to reproduce:
* run mc
* change encoding one of panels to any different from system encoding
* try to copy any file to panel with changed encoding
Expected result: files should be copied.
Actual result: error box here.

Some ini files (keymaps, skins) are loaded in read-only mode. For those
files, we don't need load and keep comments.

Steps to reproduce:
* cd ftp://ftp.gnome.org/
* Run "cd" in the panel where the remote site is open
* cd ftp://ftp.kernel.org/
Actual result: The directory content from ftp.gnome.org FTP-server.
Expected results: The directory content from kernel.org FTP-server.
