while-loop _and_ all prior matches in the same case-statement either break
or continue, we can safely break the fall-back out of the case-statement.
This should improve readability and allow for longer-lines by reducing the
level of indentation by-one for the fall-back case.
retrieving stored data (for the --menu, --calendar, --timebox, --checklist,
and --radiolist widgets).
When we (Ron McDowell and I) developed the first version of bsdconfig, it
used temporary files to store responses from dialog(1). That hasn't been
true for some very long time, so the need to always store the return status
of dialog(1) and then call some function to clean-up is long-deprecated. The
function that used to do the clean-up was f_dialog_menutag().
We really don't need f_dialog_menutag() for its originally designed purpose,
as all dialog invocations (even when in a sub-shell) do not use temporary
files anymore.
However, we do need to keep f_dialog_menutag() around because it still fills
the need of being able to abstract the procedure for fetching stored data
provided by functions that display the aforementioned widgets.
In re-designing f_dialog_menutag(), four important changes are made:
1. Rename f_dialog_menutag() to f_dialog_menutag_fetch()
2. Introduce the new first-argument of $var_to_set to reduce number of forks
3. Create a corresponding f_dialog_menutag_store() to abstract the storage
4. Offload the sanitization to a new function, f_dialog_data_sanitize()
NOTE: That last one is important. Not all functions need to store their data
for later fetching, meanwhile every invocation of dialog should be sanitized
(as we learned early-on in the i18n-effort -- underlying libraries will spit
warnings to stderr for bad values of $LANG and since dialog outputs its
responses to stderr, we need to sanitize every response of these warnings).
These changes greatly improve readbaility and also improve performance by
reducing unnecessary forking.
a bug in which certain combinations of arguments produced unexpected results
such as `-dX' (now properly produces debugging and X11), `-XS' (now properly
produces X11 in secure mode), `-df-' (enables debugging when reading a
script from standard-input, etc. Multi-word variations such as `-d -X',
`-X -S', `-d -f-', `-d -f -', etc. also work as expected. Also tested were
variations in argument order, which are now working as expected.
possible to save keystrokes. Second, overhaul startup/rcdelete for much
improved performance. Last, but not least, kill-off useage of --clear
and implement --keep-tite in harmony to minimize jarring transitions.
Also, fix local variable names where necessary while we're here with
other minor comment-enhancements/typo-corrections.
improve debugging initialization. Also fixup USAGE statements while we're
here. Also, change initialization of main program to _not_ change working
directory, allowing the debugFile to be relative without confusion.

If /usr/sbin/sysinstall is linked to another filename, say
`/usr/local/bin/configPackages', then the basename will be used
as an implicit command name.
To get a list of modules you can link to, see `bsdconfig -h' output.
