* Add "heredoc" style quoting.
* Added POSIX style '=value' suffixes to --parameters. Thus '--foo=bar'
is now equivalent to '-foo bar'.
* Added AppConfig::CGI module to parse CGI script parameters.
* Added cgi() delegate method to AppConfig to instantiate and call
AppConfig::CGI.
* Provide default options for LIST and HASH data types.
* Allow '$' to be escaped (e.g. \$) to suppress variable expansion in files.
* Applied patch from John Salmon to allow comments to appear anywhere
on a line, not just at the beginning.
The automatic truncation in gensolpkg doesn't work for packages which
have the same package name for the first 5-6 chars.
e.g. amanda-server and amanda-client would be named amanda and amanda.
Now, we add a SVR4_PKGNAME and use amacl for amanda-client and amase for
amanda-server.
All svr4 packages also have a vendor tag, so we have to reserve some chars
for this tag, which is normaly 3 or 4 chars. Thats why we can only use 6
or 5 chars for SVR4_PKGNAME. I used 5 for all the packages, to give the
vendor tag enough room.
All p5-* packages and a few other packages have now a SVR4_PKGNAME.
AppConfig is a bundle of perl5 modules for parsing configuration files
and command line arguments. It has a very powerful configuration file
processor and a simple, efficient mechanism for parsing command line
arguments. It also will use the Getopt::Long module where available
to extend its own command line parsing abilities.
