Craig A. Berry [Sun, 7 Aug 2011 16:05:40 +0000 (11:05 -0500)]
Fix porting check for dots in directory names.

The existing check conflated two different potential problems,
multiple dots in a filename and dots in a directory name.

Multiple dots in a filename can cause various kinds of trouble,
depending on the VMS filesystem in use, but there are workarounds
for older filesystems and this problem is unlikely to cause a
build failure, so it's probably too stringent to make a test
fail when we find them (and there are lots of examples already
in the repository).

*Any* dots in a directory name are problematic because dot is the
directory delimiter.  Newer (ODS-5) filesystems can handle these
if escaping is done but older (ODS-2) filesystems can't and the
manifest checker in configure.com can't.  In other words, the
build falls down hard in this case.

The existing test was checking for multiple dots in a directory
name but not checking the filename at all.  I've changed it to
check for any dots in a directory name.

symbols for Win32 to add them for both Win32 & WinCE, and simultaneously
adding 7 of those symbols to the WinCE specific skip list.

Much simpler is to split the list of symbols to add into one for Win32 only,
and one for Win32 & WinCE, and removing the skip list.

PL_cshname was converted to a true global by commit 618b9757aa96db62 in
2007, and PL_cshlen to a constant macro. Effectively both were dropped from
the list of exported symbols at this time, although as they were skipped on
Win32, WinCE and NetWare, the only platforms which would have noticed would
be AIX, OS/2 and VMS. As they've been missing in 5.10.0, 5.12.0 and 5.14.0
without any bug reports, it doesn't seem worth re-adding PL_cshname to the
list of exported symbols.
