	Various wrappers checked for a non-null pseudo_get_value("PSEUDO_UNLOAD") to determine whether the environment should include the pseudo variables. None of those checks freed the returned value when it was not null. The new check function does. The new check function also sees whether PSEUDO_UNLOAD was defined in the environment that should be used in the wrapped system call. This allows pkg_postinst scripts to strip out the LD_PRELOAD setting, for example before invoking qemu to execute commands in an environment that does not have libpseudo.so.

2011-11-02	Implement PSEUDO_UNLOAD, replacing existing PSEUDO_RELOADED semantics.	Mark Hatle
	Change from internal PSEUDO_RELOADED to external PSEUDO_UNLOAD environment variable. Enable external programs to have a safe and reliable way to unload pseudo on the next exec*. PSEUDO_UNLOAD also will disable pseudo if we're in a fork/clone situation in the same way PSEUDO_DISABLED=1 would. Rename the PSEUDO_DISABLED tests, and create a similar set for the new PSEUDO_UNLOAD. Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>
2011-03-25	Merge in ports work	Peter Seebach
	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.
