2011-06-06Improve system()Peter Seebach
2011-06-02Add system() wrapper to force setup of the pseudo environment. NotePeter Seebach
that we add an extra fork() so we can do the setup in a child process, but still just pass the command string to the standard system() call.
2011-05-31Change logic on file creation/chmod so that we only secretly mask inPeter Seebach
the 0100 bit for directories. The reason is that otherwise we create plain files which are 0700 on disk, which means they're non-zero &0111, which breaks euidaccess(X_OK).

This is a spiffied-up rebase of a bunch of intermediate changes, presented as a whole because it is, surprisingly, less confusing that way. The basic idea is to separate the guts code into categories ranging from generic stuff that can be the same everywhere and specific variants. The big scary one is the Darwin support, which actually seems to run okay on 64-bit OS X 10.6. (No other variants were tested.) The other example given is support for the old clone() syscall on RHEL 4, which affects some wrlinux use cases. There's a few minor cleanup bits here, such as a function with inconsistent calling conventions, but nothing really exciting.
