Fixed problems when building with --enable-relocatable
Added the INSTALLDIR macro to tests/dissect-sysfile.
Relocated the pathname of the splash screen graphic.

Use Gnulib module "regex", to fix linking on Mingw.
The GUI code uses POSIX regular expressions, which Mingw has in a separate
library (-lregex). We could just search for that library, but by including
our own implementation (via Gnulib) we also work around known bugs in
system regular expression implementations.

Update NEWS for 0.6.1-rc2.
Add ".sav" or ".por" suffix to filename when saving with Save_As
Closes bug #23137
(This is a cross-port of commit 169887f6d6d7bf5c10d5b05786aa3fd252040c93
from the master branch, originally authored and committed by John
Darrington.)
Only use -fgnu89-inline if the compiler actually supports it.
Jason Stover pointed out that we were using -fgnu89-inline even when the
compiler didn't support it. Obviously that's not good.
Also warn about missing prerequisites as we encounter them (bug #24445).
It can happen that configure bails out in the middle due to some issue
that PSPP cannot directly control; for example, AC_CHECK_SIZEOF exits
unconditionally if it fails. If this happens then, before, we would fail
to warn about missing required prerequisites that could well have been
the actual cause of the failure, because we only warn about these at
the end of the run.
Now, we warn about missing prerequisites both at time of detection and
in a summary at the end, to head off this problem.
Thanks to Jim Orr for allowing me to notice the problem.
Add note to INSTALL explaining how to use libraries from /usr/local.
Several users have had trouble building PSPP with self-built GSL, etc.
that were installed to /usr/local. Explain how to do it here to be
more friendly to Unix novices.
Thanks to Jim Orr for making me realize that this was important.
Add pspp-dev.dvi to CLEANFILES.
Automake does not seem to clean this file automatically. (Is this an
Automake bug?)
Append $(EXEEXT_FOR_BUILD) to output file name when building q2c.
Thanks to "Michel Boaventura" <michel.boaventura@gmail.com> for reporting
this problem and to John Darrington for assisting with the solution.

Don't append % to count totals.
There was an erroneous '%' appended to the totals for count
values. This change removes it. Fixes bug #24003
Don't destroy dictionary on error if we didn't create it.
Avoid assertion failure on bad input. Closes bug #24031

Fixed bug which caused a crash if "end data." was not left aligned.

Merge branch 'master' of ssh://jmd@git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/pspp
Work around bug #24033 (appending to output in cygwin).
Cygwin (and perhaps other w32 platforms) cannot write to a file
whilst it is open for reading. This kludge therefore closes the
output after pasting into the output viewer and re-opens when new
data is appended. It'll be slow if the output file becomes large.

Start generating ChangeLog automatically from Git commit messages.
Thus, at the same time we rename the existing ChangeLog files to
OChangeLog and add them to EXTRA_DIST to make sure that they get
distributed.

Bump minor version number so that git builds are distinct from released version
2008-07-28 Ben Pfaff <blp@gnu.org>
Use standard C99 isfinite, isnan, isinf in place of GSL substitutes.
In change a9afcdd22, "Use gsl_isnan instead of isnan, ...," isfinite,
isnan, and isinf were changed to use the GSL substitutes because of
lack of portability of the C99 versions. Now, gnulib has portable
versions of all of these, so change them back.
This commit changes calls to gsl_finite() to call isfinite() instead
of the equivalent finite(). isfinite() is correct here: both gsl_finite()
and finite() return true for NaNs, which is a surprising result given
that a NaN is definitely not finite, but isfinite() returns false and,
more importantly, behaves as actually wanted in each place it is used
in PSPP code.
This commit requires upgrading gnulib to at least change 5183a0e3c,
"Add missing dependencies on new m4/exponent[fdl].m4 files," or later,
and re-running "make -f Smake".
