2005-02-16Add a patch from Paul Eggert that's been lying around in my directory forPaul Smith1-2/+4
a long time, disabling stack size limits where possible. Update version to beta2.

list).
2004-11-30Implemented `realpath' and `abspath' built-in functions.Boris Kolpackov1-0/+32
2004-11-28Fix for bug #1276: Handle SHELL according to POSIX requirements.Paul Smith1-19/+37
POSIX requires that the value of SHELL in the makefile NOT be exported to sub-commands. Instead, the value in the environment when make was invoked should be passed to the environment of sub-commands. Note that make still uses SHELL to _run_ sub-commands; it just doesn't change the value of the SHELL variable in the environment of sub-commands. As an extension to POSIX, if the makefile explicitly exports SHELL then GNU make _will_ use it in the environment of sub-commands.
