nhkeni 8c095b009a Add CRASHREPORT, show contact form on panic/impossible
When calling panic() or impossible(), create the option
of opening a browser window with most of the fields
already populated.  Code for MacOS and linux is included;
other ports are affected by argument change to early_init
which are done but not tested.

To enable, define CRASHREPORT in config.h and set
CRASHREPORTURL in sysconf to (for the moment at least)
http[s]://www.nethack.org/common/contactcr.html

Adds --grep-defined option to makedefs for Makefiles.

Adds "bid" (binary identifier), an MD4 of the main nethack
binary.  This is ONLY for helping (in the future) contact.html
to set the "NetHack from" field automatically for our own
binaries.  This can be faked, but the user can lie so nothing
lost.  There's nothing magic about MD4; other ports can use
anything that prodcues a long apparently random string we can
match against.

- new option --bidshow for us to get the MD4 of a
  released binary so I can add it to the website.
  Only available in wizard mode and not in nethack.6.
- typo macos -> macosx in hints file

No support for packaging builds as I'm not sure what that
would look like.

Adds a javascript helper for MacOS.
Adds a lua helper for linux (and builds and installs
 nhlua).

makedefs \- NetHack miscellaneous build-time functions
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B makedefs
{
.B -o
|
.B -d
|
.B -e

.B -m
|
.B -v

.BI -- command
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
.B Makedefs
is a build-time tool used for a variety of
.BR NetHack (6)
source file creation and modification tasks. For historical reasons,
.B makedefs
takes two types of command lines. When invoked with a short option, the
files operated on are determined when
.B makedefs
is compiled. When invoked with a long option, the
.B --input
and
.B --output
options are used to specify the files for the
.BI -- command.
Each command is only available in one of the two formats.
.SH SHORT COMMANDS
Upper and lower case are both accepted for the short commands.
.TP
.B -o
Generate
.I onames.h.
.br
.TP
.B -d
Generate
.I data.base.
.br
.TP
.B -e
Generate
.I dungeon.pdf.
The input file
.I dungeon.def
is passed through the
same logic as that used by the
.B --grep
command; see the
.B MDGREP FUNCTIONS
section below for details.
.br
.TP
.B -m
Generate
.I date.h
and
.I options
file. It will read
.IR dat/gitinfo.txt ,
only if it is present, to obtain
.B githash=
and
.B gitbranch=
info and include related preprocessor #defines in
.I date.h
file.
.br
.TP
.B -p
Generate
.I pm.h
.br
.TP
.B -q
Generate the
.I rumors
file.
.br
.TP
.B -s
Generate the
.I bogusmon
,
.I engrave
and
.IR epitaph files.
.br
.TP
.B -h
Generate the
.B oracles
file.
.br
.SH LONG COMMANDS
.TP
.B --debug
Show debugging output.
.br
.TP
.B --make \fR[\fIcommand\fR]
Execute a short command. Command is given without preceding dash.
.br
.TP
.BI --input " file"
Specify the input
.I file
for the command (if needed). If the file is - standard
input is read.
.br
.TP
.BI --output " file"
Specify the output
.I file
for the command (if needed). If the file is - standard
output is written.
.br
.TP
.B --svs \fR[\fIdelimiter\fR]
Generate a version string to standard output without a trailing newline.
If specified, the delimiter is used between each part of the version string.
.br
.TP
.B --grep
Filter the input
.I file to the output
.IR file .
See the
.B MDGREP FUNCTIONS
section below for information on controlling the filtering operation.
.br
.TP
.B --grep-showvars
Show the name and value for each variable known to the grep option.
.br
.TP
.B --grep-trace
Turn on debug tracing for the grep function (
.B --grep
must be specified as well).
.br
.TP
.BI --grep-defined " symbol"
Exit shell true (0) if
.I symbol
is known and defined, otherwise exit shell false (1).
.TP
.BI --grep-define " symbol"
Force the value of
.I symbol
to be "defined."
.I Symbol
must already be known to
.BR makedefs .
.br
.TP
.BI --grep-undef " symbol"
Force the definition of
.I symbol
to be "undefined."
.I Symbol
must already be known to
.BR makedefs .
.SH MDGREP FUNCTIONS
The
.B --grep
command (and certain other commands) filter their input, on a line-by-line
basis, according to control lines embedded in the input and on information
gleaned from the
.BR NetHack (6)
configuration. This allows certain changes such as embedding platform-specific
documentation into the master documentation files.
.P
Rules:
.RS
.IP - 4
The default conditional state is printing enabled.
.IP - 4
Any line
.I NOT
starting with a caret (^) is either suppressed or passed through unchanged
depending on the current conditional state.
.IP - 4
Any line starting with a caret is a control line; as in C, zero or more spaces
may be embedded in the line almost anywhere (except immediately after the
caret); however the caret must be in column 1.
.IP - 4
Conditionals may be nested.
.IP - 4
.I Makedefs
will exit with an error code if any errors are detected; processing will
continue (if it can) to allow as many errors as possible to be detected.
.IP - 4
Unknown identifiers are treated as both TRUE and as an error. Note that
.BR --undef " or " #undef
in the
.BR NetHack (6)
configuration are different from unknown.
.RE
.P
Control lines:
.RS
.IP ^^ 4
a line starting with a (single) literal caret
.IP ^#
a comment
.IP ^?\fIID
if the
.I ID
is defined set the conditional state to TRUE
.IP ^!\fIID
if the
.I ID
is not defined set the conditional state to TRUE
.IP ^:
else; invert the conditional state
.IP ^.
end the most recent conditional
