This is a moderately intrusive change. The basic overall effect:
Debugging messages are now controlled, not by a numeric "level",
but by a series of flags, which are expressed as a string of
letters. Each flag has a single-letter form used for string
specifications, a name, a description, a numeric value (1 through N),
and a flag value (which is 1 << the numeric value). (This does mean
that no flag has the value 1, so we only have 31 bits available.
Tiny violins play.)
The other significant change is that the pseudo_debug calls
are now implemented with a do/while macro containing a conditional,
so that computationally-expensive arguments are never evaluated
if the corresponding debug flags weren't set. The assumption is
that in the vast majority of cases (specifically, all of them
so far) the debug flags for a given call are a compile-time constant,
so the nested conditional will never actually show up in code
when compiled with optimization; we'll just see the appropriate
conditional test.
The VERBOSE flag is magical, in that if the VERBOSE flag is
used in a message, the debug flags have to have both VERBOSE and
at least one other flag for the call to be made.
This should dramatically improve performance for a lot of cases
without as much need for PSEUDO_NDEBUG, and improve the ability of
users to get coherent debugging output that means something and is
relevant to a given case.
It's also intended to set the stage for future development work
involving improving the clarity and legibility of pseudo's diagnostic
messages in general.
Old things which used numeric values for PSEUDO_DEBUG will sort
of continue to work, though they will almost always be less verbose
than they used to. There should probably be a pass through adding
"| PDBGF_CONSISTENCY" to a lot of the messages that are specific
to some other type.

Most pseudo operations don't actually USE the server's response. So
why wait for a response?
This patch introduces a new message type, PSEUDO_MSG_FASTOP. It
also tags pseudo operation types with whether or not they need to
give a response. This requires updates to maketables to allow non-string
types for additional columns, and the addition of some quotes to the
SQL query enums/query_type.in table.
A few routines are altered to change their behavior and whether or not
they perform a stat operation. The only operations that do wait are
OP_FSTAT and OP_STAT, OP_MKNOD, and OP_MAY_UNLINK. Rationale:
You can't query the server for replacement information and not wait for
it. Makes no sense.
There's extra checking in mknod, because we really do want to fail out
if we couldn't do that -- that implies that we haven't created a thing
that will look like a node.
The result from OP_MAY_UNLINK is checked because it's used to determine
whether we need to send a DID_UNLINK or CANCEL_UNLINK. It might be cheaper
to send two messages without waiting than to send one, wait, and maybe
send another, but I don't want to send invalid messages.
This is highly experimental.

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.

be out of sync in a very inconvenient way.
Changes include:
* Some whitespace fixes, also move the pseudo_variables definition
into pseudo_util.c since it's not used anywhere else.
* Further improvements in the fork() support:
We now recognize both positive and negative forms of PSEUDO_DISABLED,
so we can distinguish between "it was removed from the environment
by env -i" (restore the old value) and "it was intentionally turned
off" (the new value wins).
* clone(2) support. This is a little primitive, and programs might still
fail horribly due to clone's semantics, but at least it's there and
passes easy test cases.
Plus a big patch from Mark Hatle:
Cleanup fork/clone and PSEUDO_DISABLED
guts/fork.c:
* cleanup function and make it more robust
* be sure to call pseudo_setupenv prior to pseudo_client_reset
to match exec behavior
pseudo_wrappers.c:
* fix mismatched type in execl_to_v call via typecast
* Simplify fork call via single call to wrap_fork()
* be sure to save pseudo_disabled
* be sure to call pseudo_setupenv prior to pseudo_client_reset
to match exec behavior
tests:
* Add a test of whether pseudo can be disabled/enabled on a fork.

are generated from text files and templates, making it now (we hope)
impossible for the list of strings to get out of sync with the
enum.
