Don't look for gettext message catalogs in ../po/ unless ELinks is being
run as src/elinks, ./src/elinks, or .../src/elinks.
Discovered by Arnaud Giersch, this alternate fix (than what is in debian
package 0.11.1-1.4) closes debian bug #417789 and redhat bug #235411.
Also reported in: CVE-2007-2027.
Restricting it to only work with --enable-debug was also considered,
however, it is an important feature for translaters so this less
paranoid fix was chosen.
The configure script checks whether it is possible to compile a use of
POPpx without an n_a variable; if not, the source code then defines
those variables. This is slower than including Perl's patchlevel.h
and comparing the version numbers to 5.8.8 but I expect this to be
more reliable as well.

In revision 1.15 of dns.c (as it was called way back then), pasky
backported a fix from Links 0.97pre2 to try gethostbyaddr before
trying gethostbyname for DNS lookups:
MacOS address resolution fix (Aldy Hernandez) (from 0.97pre2)
However, that fix introduced a bug, because it was calling gethostbyaddr
on all addresses, not just IP addresses. Mikulas fixed that bug in Links
0.98:
Do not call gethostbyaddr when name is not ip address (it should avoid
some useless nameserver queries)'
This fix was never backported to ELinks. Until today.
This commit is functionally the same as the fix in Links 0.98, plus it uses
inet_aton for great correctness!
This fixes a bug reported in #elinks by tnks, whereby lookups for
yubnub.org resulted in 121.117.98.110 == 0x7975626E == 'y', 'u', 'b', 'n'.
I believe that it also fixes bug 691 (which is already closed with a
workaround).

instead."

The secure file saving code plays some shenanigans with the umask.
Previously, the code could fail to restore the old umask when certain libc
calls failed: malloc, mkstemp, fdopen, and fopen. This resulted in
unrelated code creating files with the wrong umode. Specifically, the
download code's automatic directory creation was creating directories
without the execute permission bit.
Thanks to Quiznos for reporting and helping to track the problem down.

Revert 8bedf25bf8. Different versions
of ELinks call the Python goto_url_hook with different arguments:
- goto_url_hook(current) in 0.11.0, 0.11.1, and 0.11.2.
- goto_url_hook(new, current) in 0.11.2.GIT since 2007-11-27, commit
8bedf25bf8 which I'm now reverting.
No released version of ELinks has used this variant.
- goto_url_hook(new) in 0.12.GIT since 2007-01-01, commit
26473f72f5. The hook can call
elinks.current_url() if desired.
I think it will be less confusing to users if we drop the middle
variant and make the rest of the stable 0.11 branch call the hook in
the same way as 0.11.2 did. The difference will then be only between
the 0.11 and 0.12 branches.
Before this patch, init_python would crash trying to set up the
PYTHONPATH environment variable. Now it omits the home directory
from the variable in that case.

Create and immediately destroy a context when initialising the SMJS
document scripting module, because SMJS crashes on exit if there has

Only call get_parent_ptr for resize events so that the menu isn't moved
to the cursor position for normal redraw events.
Without this change, if ui.leds.enable and ui.clock.enable are 1 and
the user opens the tab menu, it first appears near the tab bar and
almost immediately jumps near the cursor. With this change, the tab
menu stays near the tab bar. However, if the user presses Ctrl+L,
then the menu still jumps; but that is less annoying than having it
jump on its own.

Normally, the success msgbox is shown only if the ui.success_msgbox
option is set as 1, and clicking "Do not show anymore" would then
toggle the option to 0, and no more such msgboxes would appear.
However, if there already are two success msgboxes being displayed
(most likely in different terminals), then clicking "Do not show
anymore" in the first of them would reset the option to 0, but doing
the same in the second of them would toggle the option back to 1.
Rename toggle_success_msgbox to disable_success_msgbox, and make it
always reset the option to 0, regardless of the previous value.

It will grab at the first fragment of the cache entry and try to detect the
content-type by looking for valid HTML. It is very stupid for now, simply
searching for "<html>", which may be bogus in certain circumstances. And I
am not sure if this is better left out and up to the scripting backends,
e.g. SMJS can now modify the cache entry.

Simplify do_move_bookmarks (from a readability perspective) by replacing

[ Backported from commit 32ec5d1db3 in
ELinks 0.12.GIT. This change is not required for fixing bug 760, but
the bookmark code in ELinks 0.12.GIT has been tested more with the
change than without it, so I think applying it is safest. --KON ]
do_move_bookmark was only updating the selection in the bookmarks manager
window in which the Move button was pressed. Now all windows are updated.
This patch also prevents a crash when the first item that was displayed
in a box was the last child of a folder and was being moved (the comment
removed in this patch was incorrect in assuming that bm->box->next must
be valid because it neglected to account for non-root children).
This change required that I move the definition of struct
hierbox_dialog_list_item from src/bfu/hierbox.c to src/bfu/hierbox.h.
Thanks to Kalle Olavi Niemitalo for finding both the update problem
and the crash.
