to figure out.
common.c now sports a global variable running_as_cgi which, when true
causes fatal() to output some mildly more helpful HTML in addition to
the syslog entry. Since this usually only occurs when the site admin
is installing Mailman, this helpful HTML should give a better clue as
to what's going wrong, rather than an unhelpful Web server message and
syslog entry alone.
Naturally, main() in cgi-wrapper.c sets running_as_cgi to 1; it is
initialized to 0 so as to not upset mail-wrapper.c.
Finally, because I think this is a kludge, I've wrapped this all in an
#ifdef HELPFUL, and set Makefile.in to turn this on by default. My
thought is that for some future version, if the site admin specifies
--with-cgi-gid to configure, that proves they're somewhat clueful, and
we'd default the HELPFUL macro to "off".

Now the wrapper simply calls the Python written scripts/driver program
and passes the module name as argv[1].
Eliminates the (unchecked in) need for symbolic links. This file
still gets compiled into a number of different executables, each named
after the module that gets imported. This could be changed to use
symlinks later.

matches. Fix the prototype, remove macros from C files.

1. For mail-wrapper.c and cgi-wrapper.c, most common routines have
been moved to common.c. While there were some differences in the
way these two wrappers worked (most notably in the error handling
and reporting when UID's and GID's didn't match), they were easily
merged. Fatal errors now always syslog and exit(1).
2. The exec*() call for running the new process has been changed and
made consistent. For improved security, the absolute path to the
Python interpreter (as discovered by configure) is compiled into
these programs, and the environment variable PYTHONPATH is set to
include only the absolute path the the installed Mailman package
($prefix/Mailman). Scripts are invoked by exec'ing the Python
interpreter with the first argument being the absolute path to the
script to run, along with any additional arguments on argc/argv.
See the function run_script() in common.c for details.
3. alias-wrapper.c has not yet been fully merged. I gathered from Ken
that it doesn't work completely well anyway.
4. check_caller() in common.c still checks the gid, but as we
discussed before, this may be redundant. I wanted one check-in
with a history of this feature first though.
5. Added an Emacs turd at the end of all files so that the C code will
be edited using Python's standard C style. Reformatted existing
code.
6. Removed pseudo-log history from comments at top of files.

do so.
Added a copy of the GNU GPL.
Added information about mailman-users in README, and reworded some text in there (made the credits less verbose... perhaps they should move to a credits file?)

- Use "Python" C editing style when used with X/Emacs
- Make X/Emacs friendly by putting function opening braces in column
zero and putting function name on separate line from return type
- Use C style comments instead of C++ style comments. Not all C
compilers grok line comments.

segmentation fault when bad id was detected.
Declare main as an int routine so gcc doesn't complain, even though it
doesn't return an int.
