    Refactor file writing - introduce template driven file writing · 291e94df
    Richard Levitte 提交于
    apps/CA.pl and tools/c_rehash are built from template files.  So far,
    this was done by Configure, which created its own problems as it
    forced everyone to reconfigure just because one of the template files
    had changed.
    Instead, have those files created as part of the normal build in apps/
    and in tools/.
    
    Furthermore, this prepares for a future where Configure may produce
    entirely other build files than Makefile, and the latter can't be
    guaranteed to be the holder of all information for other scripts.
    Instead, configdata.pm (described below) becomes the center of
    configuration information.
    
    This introduces a few new things:
    
    %config         a hash table to hold all kinds of configuration data
                    that can be used by any other script.
    configdata.pm   a perl module that Configure writes.  It currently
                    holds the hash tables %config and %target.
    util/dofile.pl  a script that takes a template on STDIN and outputs
                    the result after applying configuration data on it.
                    It's supposed to be called like this:
    
                            perl -I$(TOP) -Mconfigdata < template > result
    
                    or
    
                            perl -I$(TOP) -Mconfigdata templ1 templ2 ... > result
    
                    Note: util/dofile.pl requires Text::Template.
    
    As part of this changed, remove a number of variables that are really
    just copies of entries in %target, and use %target directly.  The
    exceptions are $target{cflags} and $target{lflags}, they do get copied
    to $cflags and $lflags.  The reason for this is that those variable
    potentially go through a lot of changes and would rather deserve a
    place in %config.  That, however, is for another commit.
