[ITP] csih-0.1-1

[Charles Wilson]

cygwin-service-installation-helper provides a library of shell functions 
that can be used by other cygwin packages that provide servers and daemons.

Usually, these other packages also ship with installation or 
configuration scripts (such as: ssh-host-config, iu-config, cron-config, 
etc).  These installation scripts have similar requirements, and can 
benefit from delegating common tasks to a common library.  Like csih!

I have notices that some of the *-config scripts mentioned above are 
posix-shell (#!/bin/sh) compliant. csih is not; it uses many bash-isms, 
so any -config script that uses its facilities must be a #!/bin/bash script.


This package basically consists of a single file:
   /usr/share/csih/cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh
whose contents are derived from many sources:

   ssh-host-config from the openssh package
   cron-config from the cron package
   exim-config from the exim package
   iu-config and syslogd-config from the inetutils package
   cygport from the cygport package

You can inspect the library without downloading and unpacking the 
tarballs using this link:

Changes relative to the initial version posted here
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-02/msg00225.html

1) documentation throughout
2) tested pretty heavily, but only on my (XP) system
3) renamed all functions to 'csih_WHATEVER'
4) use 'cyg_server' instead of 'cygwin_svc' as requested by Pierre
5) also look for sshd_server and cron_server
6) assimilated many functions from cron-config and exim-config
7) added debug and trace functions
8) added ability to suppress 'color', so that setup.log doesn't get 
cluttered with escape sequences

9) re-wrote inetutils' iu-config and syslogd-config to use this library. 
See:
http://cygwin.cwilson.fastmail.fm/ITP/iu-config
http://cygwin.cwilson.fastmail.fm/ITP/syslogd-config

This is still very preliminary, and patches, comments, and suggestions 
are both welcome and solicited.
