Many of these were real bugs, like:
if (cond);
do_something
etc...
Others were just cosmetic - like placing the ';' on a separate line to
make the intention clear.
Remove a pile of old SGML stuff we no longer need in dtdocbook since
we use NSGMLS.
Use some TCL macros from m4/tcl.m4 to loacate and use information in
the tclConfig.sh script installed with TCL. I had to modify it to
export TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC, which was present but not imported.
One-off error:
Old buffer length was 6 for one character (3 * 1 + 3)
We need one more byte par character in the buffer for
the hex representation of it.

tcl combined with RCHECK will abort because memory blocks
are allocated contiguously and we overwrite the magic marker
of the next block.
In this commit, we convert FreeBSD and OpenBSD to use a system version
of TCL (8.6).
We also get rid of the hairy and buggy "CompareI18NStrings" custom Tcl
function and use the newer Tcl's builtin dictionary sort mechanism for
generating the Indexes and Glossaries, which were silently broken in
previous commits.
It was just not possible to use the same Tcl code in modern versions
of Tcl in addition to the ancient version included with CDE - so, now
we will always depend on the system version. It's been tested with
8.6 and 8.7 versions of Tcl with great results.
On some systems with libtcl installed, it might be linked into instant
rather than the locally provided version. This can result in random
coredumps.
Seen on Ubuntu 12.04, x86_64.
Now, we force linking with ../tcl/libtcl.a.
On OpenBSD, the 'S' option to malloc(3) enables guard pages (among other
things). This loop could have triggered this trap when reading beyond the
buffer. Also, the whole "while(*ip)" construct was based on the assumption that
the memory after the string is always zero-filled.
instant should fail if the locale xlation db cannot be opened.
The reason this was failing was because the locale translation DB for
linux did not exist (Linux.lcx). I didn't add it until weeks/months
later :)
There needs to be one for each platform called "$(uname -s).lcx".
FreeBSD will need one too.
Added proper SharedDtSvcReqs in lnxLib.tmpl and CplusplusLibC in
linux.cf. This allows the libstdc++ dependancy to be properly
declared for libDtSvc so that it is not neccessary to hardcode 'CCLINK
= g++' in the Imakefiles of programs linking angainst libDtSvc.
- by default, do not build any other locale than C for now
- do not try to build the guides. These require functioning
dtinfo/docbook
- add a Linux.lcx locale translation db. Not used yet.
- fix some overflows in dtdocbook/instant
