* src/user.c (check_patterns): char* is used instead of char [] in sizeof

* src/util.c (string_perm): prefix named pipes by 'p' and not by `s'

* gtkedit/editcmd.c (edit_print_string): Use unsigned char so that
8 bit chars from strftime get displayed when inserting date.

* lib/mc.ext.in: Add entries for bzip2 compressed pages as used in
Mandrake 6.0. The generic entry for bzip2 moved to the end of the
file to avoid interferences. In this one I changed the extension check
to a type check (as used for gzip) which might give problems in some
systems.

* configure.in: Use -Tlatin1 to format man pages when available and
"view" 8 bit chars.


1999-09-19  Norbert Warmuth  <nwarmuth@privat.circular.de>

* gtkedit/edit.h: Include files reordered in order to make it compile with
--with-debug

* gtkedit/editcmd.c (menu_save_mode_cmd): calculate dialog width
dependent on lenght of translated strings to display.

* src/mad.c, mad.h, util.c, util.h: Move mad-functions from util.[ch]
to mad.[ch]

* src/option.c: Include files reordered in order to make it compile with
--with-debug

* src/mad.c (mad_init): New function. Initialize debug FILE pointer to
stderr (moved to a function because not on every system stderr is
a constant).
(mad_set_debug): added const qualifier

* src/main.c (main): call mad_init

* po/*.po: s/defination/definition/

* gnome/Makefile.in ($(MAGICDEV_GENERATED)): Make it compile with $buildir
!= $srcdir.

* vfs/ftpfs.c (ftpfs_set_debug), vfs.h: added const qualifier.

* vfs/mcserv.c: removed definition of mad_strconcat which is also
in mad.c.

Hi!

I'm midnight commander's vfs layer. Before you start hacking me,
please read this file. I'm integral part of midnight commander, but I
try to go out and live my life myself as a shared library, too. That
means that I should try to use as little functions from midnight as
possible (so I'm tiny, nice and people like me), that I should not
pollute name space by unnecessary symbols (so I do not crash fellow
programs) and that I should have a clean interface between myself and
midnight.

Because I'm rather close to midnight, try to:

* Keep updating ChangeLog file.

* Keep the indentation as the rest of the code. Following could help
you with your friend emacs:

(defun mc-c-mode ()
	"C mode with adjusted defaults for use with the Midnight commander."
	(interactive)
	(c-mode)
	(c-set-style "K&R")
	(setq	c-indent-level 4
		c-continued-statement-offset 4
		c-brace-offset 0
		c-argdecl-indent 4
		c-label-offset -4
		c-brace-imaginary-offset 0
		c-continued-brace-offset 0
		c-tab-always-indent nil
		c-basic-offset 4
		tab-width 8
		comment-column 60))

(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '(".*/mc/.*\\.[ch]$" . mc-c-mode)
                       auto-mode-alist))

And because I'm trying to live life on my own as libvfs.so, try to:

* Make sure all exported symbols are defined in vfs.h and begin with
'vfs_'.

* Do not make any references from midnight into modules like tar. It
would probably pollute name space and midnight would depend on concrete
configuration of libvfs. mc_setctl() and mc_ctl() are your
friends. (And mine too :-).

PS: If you'd like to use my features in whole operating system, you
might want to link me to rpc.nfsd. On
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/podfuk/podfuk.html you'll find
how to do it.

PPS: I have a friend, shared library called avfs, which is LD_PRELOAD
capable. You can reach her at http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/avfs.
