Judging from the volume of the deafening silence, in response to this --
thanks to Werner, for his lone voice in the wilderness -- I assume that a)
nobody else cares, or b) it works as intended, for anybody who does.
Therefore, I've now worked it into pdfroff.sh: (patch attached).
For the top level ChangeLog:
Improve portability of `pdfroff' shell script.
* arch/misc/shdeps.sh: add space in shebang, conforming to portability
guidelines in `autoconf' docs.
(PATH_SEARCH_SETUP): new substitution; emits PATH_SEPARATOR
initialisation code, used by contrib/pdfmark/pdfroff.sh `searchpath'
function.
For contrib/pdfmark/ChangeLog:
Improve portability of `pdfroff' shell script.
* pdfroff.sh: add space in shebang, conforming to portability guidelines
in `autoconf' docs.
(searchpath): new shell function; use it instead of `type' command, to
locate prerequisite helper programs.
* pdfroff.man: document influence of `OSTYPE' and `PATH_SEPARATOR'
environment variables.
* Makefile.sub: (pdfroff): make it depend on SH_DEPS_SED_SCRIPT, from
arch/misc/shdeps.sh; use it to customise PATH_SEPARATOR initialisation
code for `searchpath' function in pdfroff.sh
Best regards,
Keith.
