[coldsync-hackers] CVS news!

[Alessandro Zummo <azummo-coldsync2 at towertech dot it>]

 Since many people requested it,
   i've added a feature to allow the user to alter the .palm
   default base directory.

 However, nothing comes without a price to pay: the side effect
 of this change is that all coldsync related env variables have
 now been prefixed with CS_, to avoid namespace clashes (LOGFILE was to generic).

 The new symbol CS_DOTPALM allows for the base directory change.

 If you have a setup which redirects all the palms
 to one local user, like this one:

 (/etc/palms)
 AABBCCDD|pda01|10001|thepalmuser
 DDCCBBAA|pda02|10002|thepalmuser

 ..

 you can define a .coldsynrc like this in
 /home/palmuser:

 options {
	CS_DOTPALM: "$(HOME)/$(CS_PALMUSERNAME)"
 }

 With this setup, the base directory for pda01 will be
 /home/thepalmuser/pda01 .

 The CS_ symbols are now also available as environment variables
 for conduits' benefit.

 The are a few more CS_ environments. You can use the new dump-env "type: none;" conduit
 to give a look at them.
