[Marbles-isi] checked in: no more DCE_HOME_PCSYNTAX - _mostly_ good news

[Martin Frank]

The current cygwin utilities version now recognizes PC path names such as 
"C:/code" so that it is no longer necessary to also enter a "//C/code" 
variant, the former suffices.

I have changed the installation instructions and checked in numerous 
changes in Makefiles and shell files renaming DCE_HOME_PCSYNTAX to 
DCE_HOME. It is no longer necessary to define the DCE_HOME_PCSYNTAX and 
TMP_DIR variables to install our software.

The good news: easier and less error-prone fresh installations.

The bad news: ***** for existing installations, you may have to upgrade 
your CygWin installation after your next checkout if you have a CygWin 
version installed that is more than about 3 months old *****, so you may 
want to choose the time of your next cvs update carefully in this case... 
in this case do this:

(1) un-set your DCE_HOME_PCSYNTAX environment variable

(2) set your DCE_HOME environment variable to forward-slash PC syntax, such 
as C:/code

(3) un-set your TMP_DIR environment variable

I apologize for any pain... but the simpler set-up is a definite long-term 
benefit...

Cheers, yours, Martin
