infrastructure for "system options" - things currently specified at build
time that should be changeable at install time or run time but not really
under user control
generalize contact info so it can be localized and it doesn't have to be
an email address
move recently introduced WIZARDS into sysopt
drop bogus OPTIONS=wizards possibility
new function build_english_list() to comma-ize and add 'or' from a whitespace separated list: A. A or B. A, B, or C.
syscf file now handles: WIZARDS SUPPORT RECOVER
SUPPORT specifies local support information
RECOVER will eventually supply port-specific and/or localized info on how
to run recover (or get it run for you).
Note: in sys/msdos I changed sys.o (generated from pcsys.c) to pcsys.o
Note: sys/msdos/Makefile.GCC has 2 rules for sys.o (now pcsys.o)
Add options SYSCF (to add a system-wide configuration file) and SYSCF_FILE
(for a file-based implementation of SYSCF) - this allows a binary distribution
to be configured at install time. The only option supported at this time is
WIZARDS - a list of usernames which can use -D; currently only for unix-likes
but should be extendable to anything that has a concept of multiple users.
Add mac tty multiuser config using sgid.
Add a hints file for an ubuntu tty build and skip xset if no fonts.dir
file exists (this test will probably need another tweak, but I need a
linux x11 build first to test it).
build system.
Anyone who wants to do a build from sys/unix and doesn't want to figure this
out just needs to do:
sh setup.sh hints/unix
instead of:
sh setup.sh
and then continue on as usual.
New files:
sys/unix/NewInstall.unx - the new directions
sys/unix/hints/* - the hints files. There will be more later.
sys/unix/mkmkfile.sh - helper for setup.sh
Summary of changes:
see NewInstall.unx for info on the new build system
introduction of various preprocessor symbols to turn options off that
are defaulted on historically
comment out nethackrc (and similar) entries that still use the old symbol
syntax.
commenting out of Makefile.* lines that now come from hints/unix
GAMEDIR is replaced with HACKDIR so the Makefiles and the C source agree.
Note that I have NOT changed the docs and/or Makefiles for be, msdos, os2,
vms, or winnt. If port maintainers don't then I will, but I can't test
those ports.
nethack.sh now handles the font path automatically

Subject: patch: missing amiga bits
Hi,
here are some missing bits from the amigafiles.
Current source compiles fine, seems to work ok (launches, runs, opens windows
and quits as usual). I haven't had much time to test it rigorously (or play
at all), but I don't remember there having been any major changes that would've
affected the amigaport, so it probably should be okay as it is.
