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.

To use: You need to build and install the XEmacs distribution. Also you need the xemacs packages in both source and installed versions. Edit "dirs.py" to reflect the locations of the above components. Edit "version.py" to reflect the current version, as well as the welcome message. Run python pre_wise.py > xemacs-XXX.wse (for XXX use a version or date code of your choosing) Run cmd /c xemacs-XXX.wse to produce xemacs-XXX.exe "pre_wise.py" is a preprocessor for the Wise installer maker. It reads "xemacs.tmpl" which is a Wise input file, except that certain portions are enclosed in triple angle brackets <<<like this>>> These portions are evaluated as Python expressions and replaced by the string representations of the resulting value. This allows for things to change from release to release without having to re-do the Wise installation each time. Also it keeps you from having to manually drag-n-drop all the package files, which is rather tedious!
