- eliminate ambiguities between GNU-ish and SysV-ish make flavors;
- switch [back] to -e;
- fold/unify rules;
This is follow-up to the patch introducing common BUILDENV. Idea is
to collect as much parameters in $(TOP) as possible and "strip" lower
Makefiles for most variables [and thus makes them more readable].
disabled by default (MDC2 and RC5), which until now were skipped
by "make links" and yet supposedly required by some of the Makefiles,
meaning that the recent snapshots failed to compile.
Problem reported by Nils Larsch.
Makefile.shared was a bit overcomplicated.
Make the shell variables LDFLAGS and SHAREDFLAGS in Makefile.shared
get the values of $(CFLAGS) or $(LDFLAGS) as appropriate depending on
the value the shell variables LDCMD and SHAREDCMD get. That leaves
much less chance of confusion, since those pairs of shell variables
always are defined together.
- Enforce that there should be no policy settings when the language
is one of id-ppl-independent or id-ppl-inheritAll.
- Add functionality to ssltest.c so that it can process proxy rights
and check that they are set correctly. Rights consist of ASCII
letters, and the condition is a boolean expression that includes
letters, parenthesis, &, | and ^.
- Change the proxy certificate configurations so they get proxy
rights that are understood by ssltest.c.
- Add a script that tests proxy certificates with SSL operations.
Other changes:
- Change the copyright end year in mkerr.pl.
- make update.
and friends may be entirely useless. In such a case, LD_PRELOAD is
the answer, at least on platforms using LD_LIBRARY_PATH. There might
be other variables to set on other platforms, please fill us in...
For now, we only do this with the tests, so they won't fail for silly
reasons like getting dynamically linked to older installed libraries
rather than the newly built ones...

applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
to do it.
Note: this has only been tested on GNU-based platforms (Linux), and
needs to be tested on all others. Additionally, it's not yet
supported on the following platforms, for lack of information:
Darwin (MacOS X)
Cygwin
OSF1/Alpha
SVR3
ReliantUNIX
Please help out with testing and the platforms we don't yet know well
enough.
