2dc1c61598 Support compressed doc files again.
Add a few strategic screen clears.
Do a lot less wasted screen I/O in restoring screen contents that don't need
restoring.
Use tar instead of cp to back up /etc in installUpdate.
Don't panic when upgrade shell exits.

16185b823a Fix some long-standing malloc bugs in the package handling code (freeing garbage
in one place, leaking memory in another).

Add a facility to invoke subsystems directly by naming them on
sysinstall's command-line when running post-install.  A replacement
for pkg_manage might, for example, be `/stand/sysinstall configPackages'

Fix bogon where upgrade shell was entered with tty modes spammed.

Fix bug with release name checking in ftp_strat.  Turned a bunch of
bogus exit()s into proper calls to systemShutdown().

18b1c03d52 Quite a few changes:
1. Fix the last display bugs (I hope) by use of dialog rebuilds at stategic
   points.
2. Clean up the distributions menus so that everybody (that's reasonable)
   has All and Clear options for setting/clearing things en-masse.
3. Various attempts at display optimization.
4. Change the wording of the `Don't use Write!' dialogs to make them more
   explicitly define when and when not to use the option.

2113a60c4b Bring this into sync.
I still have a _very very annoying_ display bug which occurs when a menu
item causes a submenu to be displayed - the screen repaints for the original
menu (which is restored upon return from the submenu) are off by about 4
characters.  I've tried restoring the screen, the cursor position, you name
it - same deal.  Grrrr!  This commit is my first step in trying to get someone
else to help me look into this one since I'm just tearing my hair out at this
point!

af4cbec4e1 1. Update all the copyrights to delete useless clauses 3 and 4.
2. Change more of the menu code over to new system.
3. Streamline label editor.

957bdf511e Major surgery.
1. Use new dialog menu hacks (no strings, just arrays of dialogMenuItem structs)
   so that I can create composite menus with radio/checkbox/... items in them,
   removing some long-standing UI bogons in various menus.  This work isn't
   finished yet, but will be done in two phases.  This is phase one.

2. Remove all the script installation stuff.  I never got time to document it,
   it was arcane and it just complicated much of the code.  There are better
   ways of doing this if I want to do auto-driven installations later.

3. Remove much dead code and otherwise attempt to remove as much historical
   grot as possible so that this code is easier to hack on.  This is also
   a two-stage process, phase one of which is now complete.

593ecf888e Some general fixes for the package menu (still need to fix the "more than 10
items checked bug though).  Now allow user to specify a PKG_TMPDIR.  If
not selected, we try to make one.

61029f8291 Second round of screen update changes. Now handle the yes/no dialogs
as well as the confirmation dialogs.

b462d27c89 Style changes. Clear the screen before a lot of error dialogs so that they
don't bogusly restore the screen to the message that was the cause of the
abort.  That resulted in lots of weird flickering dialog boxes that appeared
to be displayed out of sequence.
