- *    Revision 1.27  2002/04/24 02:10:31  oes
- *     - Jon's patch for multiple AFs:
- *       - split load_actions_file, add load_one_actions_file
- *       - make csp->actions_list files an array
- *       - remember file id with each action
- *     - Copy_action now frees dest action before copying
- *
- *    Revision 1.26  2002/03/26 22:29:54  swa
- *    we have a new homepage!
- *
- *    Revision 1.25  2002/03/24 13:25:43  swa
- *    name change related issues
- *
- *    Revision 1.24  2002/03/16 23:54:06  jongfoster
- *    Adding graceful termination feature, to help look for memory leaks.
- *    If you enable this (which, by design, has to be done by hand
- *    editing config.h) and then go to http://i.j.b/die, then the program
- *    will exit cleanly after the *next* request.  It should free all the
- *    memory that was used.
- *
- *    Revision 1.23  2002/03/07 03:46:16  oes
- *    Fixed compiler warnings
- *
- *    Revision 1.22  2002/01/21 00:27:02  jongfoster
- *    Allowing free_action(NULL).
- *    Moving the functions that #include actionlist.h to the end of the file,
- *    because the Visual C++ 97 debugger gets extremely confused if you try
- *    to debug any code that comes after them in the file.
- *
- *    Revision 1.21  2002/01/17 20:54:44  jongfoster
- *    Renaming free_url to free_url_spec, since it frees a struct url_spec.
- *
- *    Revision 1.20  2001/11/22 21:56:49  jongfoster
- *    Making action_spec->flags into an unsigned long rather than just an
- *    unsigned int.
- *    Fixing a bug in the display of -add-header and -wafer
- *
- *    Revision 1.19  2001/11/13 00:14:07  jongfoster
- *    Fixing stupid bug now I've figured out what || means.
- *    (It always returns 0 or 1, not one of it's paramaters.)
- *
- *    Revision 1.18  2001/11/07 00:06:06  steudten
- *    Add line number in error output for lineparsing for
- *    actionsfile.
- *
- *    Revision 1.17  2001/10/25 03:40:47  david__schmidt
- *    Change in porting tactics: OS/2's EMX porting layer doesn't allow multiple
- *    threads to call select() simultaneously.  So, it's time to do a real, live,
- *    native OS/2 port.  See defines for __EMX__ (the porting layer) vs. __OS2__
- *    (native). Both versions will work, but using __OS2__ offers multi-threading.
- *
- *    Revision 1.16  2001/10/23 21:30:30  jongfoster
- *    Adding error-checking to selected functions.
- *
- *    Revision 1.15  2001/10/14 21:58:22  jongfoster
- *    Adding support for the CGI-based editor:
- *    - Exported get_actions()
- *    - Added new function free_alias_list()
- *    - Added support for {{settings}} and {{description}} blocks
- *      in the actions file.  They are currently ignored.
- *    - Added restriction to only one {{alias}} block which must appear
- *      first in the file, to simplify the editor's rewriting rules.
- *    - Note that load_actions_file() is no longer used by the CGI-based
- *      editor, but some of the other routines in this file are.
- *
- *    Revision 1.14  2001/09/22 16:36:59  jongfoster
- *    Removing unused parameter fs from read_config_line()
- *
- *    Revision 1.13  2001/09/16 15:47:37  jongfoster
- *    First version of CGI-based edit interface.  This is very much a
- *    work-in-progress, and you can't actually use it to edit anything
- *    yet.  You must #define FEATURE_CGI_EDIT_ACTIONS for these changes
- *    to have any effect.
- *
- *    Revision 1.12  2001/09/16 13:21:27  jongfoster
- *    Changes to use new list functions.
- *
- *    Revision 1.11  2001/09/14 00:17:32  jongfoster
- *    Tidying up memory allocation. New function init_action().
- *
- *    Revision 1.10  2001/09/10 10:14:34  oes
- *    Removing unused variable
- *
- *    Revision 1.9  2001/07/30 22:08:36  jongfoster
- *    Tidying up #defines:
- *    - All feature #defines are now of the form FEATURE_xxx
- *    - Permanently turned off WIN_GUI_EDIT
- *    - Permanently turned on WEBDAV and SPLIT_PROXY_ARGS
- *
- *    Revision 1.8  2001/06/29 13:19:52  oes
- *    Removed logentry from cancelled commit
- *
- *    Revision 1.7  2001/06/09 10:55:28  jongfoster
- *    Changing BUFSIZ ==> BUFFER_SIZE
- *
- *    Revision 1.6  2001/06/07 23:04:34  jongfoster

- *    Revision 1.5  2001/06/03 19:11:48  oes
- *    adapted to new enlist_unique arg format
- *
- *    Revision 1.4  2001/06/01 20:03:42  jongfoster
- *    Better memory management - current_action->strings[] now
- *    contains copies of the strings, not the original.
- *
- *    Revision 1.3  2001/06/01 18:49:17  jongfoster
- *    Replaced "list_share" with "list" - the tiny memory gain was not
- *    worth the extra complexity.
- *
- *    Revision 1.2  2001/05/31 21:40:00  jongfoster
- *    Removing some commented out, obsolete blocks of code.
- *
- *    Revision 1.1  2001/05/31 21:16:46  jongfoster
- *    Moved functions to process the action list into this new file.
