Handle varalias chains, custom variables in #'user-variable-p. src/ChangeLog addition: 2008-08-23 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * eval.c (Fuser_variable_p): Moved to symbols.c * symbols.c (Fcustom_variable_p): Moved here from custom.el. (user_variable_alias_check_fun): Mapper function used in `user-variable-p'. (Fuser_variable_p): Moved here from eval.c, to allow it to examine the variable alias chain. Expanded to check each entry in the variable alias chain for signs of being a user variable; documentation updated, noting the differences between GNU's behaviour and ours (ours is a little more sensible) (map_varalias_chain): New. Given a C function, call it at least once for each symbol in a symbol's varalias chain, signalling an error if there's a cycle, and returning immediately if the function returns something other than Qzero. (Fdefvaralias): Correct the use of the word "alias" in the docstring and in the argument name. Motivate this in a comment. Add support for a DOCSTRING argument, something GNU has too, and document this * gc.c (vars_of_gc): Start the docstring of `garbage-collection-messages' with an asterisk, to indicate that it's a user variable. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2008-08-23 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * custom.el: Move #'custom-variable-p to C, since it's now called from #'user-variable-p.

This directory contains the source for the setup program for the XEmacs
net releases.

For commentary on how to do a release please see `package-net.el'

This code has been adapted from the cygwin net release installer. In
particular note that the cygwin net release installer is actively
maintained and therefore we will want to incorporate improvements from
that. I have therefore tried to use the cygwin way wherever
possible. I have however cleaned up the code somewhat so that there
are not billions of warnings.

This program should get built as part of the standard XEmacs
make. Note however that if you use trhe cygwin build you will need a
NON CYGWIN VERSION OF ZLIB.
