Fix a #'setenv bug, merge other changes from GNU's env.el.
2007-12-14 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net>
* process.el (substitute-env-vars):
Merge an example from GNU's docstring.
* process.el (setenv):
Pass nil as the default abbrev table to the #'read-from-minibuffer
call, instead of passing the current value of the variable. Bug
introduced by an incorrect sync from GNU by Ben; reported by
Thomas Mittelstaedt in 47626712.40609@cadenas.de.
Document the #'set-time-zone-rule call when TZ is set. Push the
old value on to the beginning of setenv-history. (Both merged from
GNU.) Document that we don't do the coding-system frobbing at this
level that GNU does.
Provide a commented-out, sample implementation of GNU's
#'environment; document why I think we shouldn't include it.

398 | 1 To use: |
2 | |
3 You need to build and install the XEmacs distribution. Also you need | |
4 the xemacs packages in both source and installed versions. | |
5 | |
6 Edit "dirs.py" to reflect the locations of the above components. | |
7 | |
8 Edit "version.py" to reflect the current version, as well as the | |
9 welcome message. | |
10 | |
11 Run | |
12 python pre_wise.py > xemacs-XXX.wse | |
13 | |
14 (for XXX use a version or date code of your choosing) | |
15 | |
16 Run | |
17 cmd /c xemacs-XXX.wse | |
18 | |
19 to produce xemacs-XXX.exe | |

22 "pre_wise.py" is a preprocessor for the Wise installer maker. It | |
23 reads "xemacs.tmpl" which is a Wise input file, except that certain | |
24 portions are enclosed in triple angle brackets <<<like this>>> | |
25 | |
26 These portions are evaluated as Python expressions and replaced by the | |
27 string representations of the resulting value. This allows for | |
28 things to change from release to release without having to re-do the | |
29 Wise installation each time. Also it keeps you from having to | |
30 manually drag-n-drop all the package files, which is rather tedious! | |
