Merge tag '2.140.115' into dev
version 2.140.115 updates
includes example apps that are being worked up for presentation on the web.
many changes to scripts, both major and minor.
one really good one is that the customizations are now a link instead of a copy inside the feisty meow loading dock, which cleans up a lot of things.
powerup also has some improvements to make it able to powerup current directory as well as older schemes.

fixed bug that was pre-whacking custom item
my careful code wasn't firing because an overly abusive remove based on find was whacking it; now instead i whack only the expected pieces that start with fmc_ in the loading dock, thus avoiding trashing anyone else's junk that happens to be floating around in there, but more specifically avoiding removing custom regardless of what type of item it is (unless it's the expected link).

improved f76 vendor record post bank merges
the fallout 76 banks all got tied to the same balance, so it no longer makes sense to track the locations of all the 7 vendors separately. now it's all combined on one sheet, which should take a lot longer to fill out (which is a good thing to save paper and pen hand).

new name for function
this is a local /z comparator, which abbreviates to localz somehow. it will check the local machine's /z folder items against an exemplar machine on the network. there is a built in default so far for that machine, but it also changes, which isn't so reasonable. but an exemplar machine name can be passed on the command line, so we're not put together totally backwards like some IT groups.

tasty solution to spacemall weirdness
just dropped the really problematic approach using find with multiple match inames, instead opting for simpler streaming processing of the names into xargs. works beautifully.

working vendor record plus new system time update
the vendor record got purged of its insane missing line problem by uploading it to google and then downloading it again. freaking weird.
the update_system_time script is a simple wrapper for rdate, which has been throwing obnoxious "problem: successful" kinds of messages for a while. don't know if the weird success message is accompanied by a result value of zero, as in success, or not, but we'll find out by what this script says. now in use on serene for time updates.

really close for simple powerups
it looks like this is working now for a powerup done in a project directory with no parameters, even if that project directory is a way deep subdirectory of a git repository rather than a stand-alone repository. had to stop before fully powered up due to blah blah but need to test out fully and then remove debug noises.
version control library had a feature removed which was not being used and seemed dangerous anyhow.

cleaning out references to avenger5 text
we already have a variable for this word, so it shouldn't appear in any file except the defaults file.
one allowed exception is a script that acts on all site avenger folders, since that script doesn't use the rest of the site avenger scripting machinery and it's an appropriate usage for this particular script (act on all apps).

update for new name of cloud = nuage
nuage is french for cloud, and it's a good change-over from our cluttered cloud repository. so nuage ushers in a new age, even though it's only morphemes that sound similar.

back to single level for spaceming all
doing a recursive spacemall was clanging way down into a lot of hierarchies it had no right to do. the expected behavior was, and is, that this just operates on a single dir at a time.

adding path support to spacemall
this is a lot more obnoxious than expected. it turns out spacem has a bug when run against a file in a directory, where it cannot do the renaming properly.
the current state is not right yet, but it's better than it was in terms of features. but this needs to work properly for both spacem and spacemall

adding example apps, fixing powerup issues
the new example apps are in nascent state but provide two demos, one of the google maps using a zipcode database and the other implementing a shared calendar view in google.
the site avenger shared support and all scripts have been updated to allow an empty app_dirname, such as when you are already in a directory and want to just say powerup. this works with existing avenger5 folders already, but still needs some help to be generalized.

added second case for /z residents
if a directory actually just lived in /z/ before rather than being linked in from /home/archives, the old version of the script would miss it and not do the refred or whatever properly. now it will.

fixed annoying bug for test section manager
where the test would create a dir /feisty_meow if run as root, for storing the ini file.
do need to reevaluate the all users dir option; it makes no sense on linux, although at least we drive it by a simple environment variable. is there even a unix equivalent to that concept of storing for all users? not really, except sort of /etc dir.

dropped terminal title oracle; things are good now
we stopped trying to scrape the current terminal title using various types of window magic. the change from unity and having a WINDOWID defined really screwed us in that; we used to be able to get the exact right title based on our WINDOWID, but once that's missing, there's no reliable way to get the terminal title unless the terminal is in the foreground and focused. heck with that.
so we're back to our approach of stacking up terminal titles. this works now, since we have a better approach. only a simple variable is used, not an array, so we can pass this to subshells reliably. and the save / restore feature has been kept intact, even though save expects a parameter as the title now. it just uses the existing item on the top of the stack if no new title is saved, thus preserving the semantics of saving the title.
so far things are looking nice. it will be nice to decouple this feature of feisty meow from OS changes and screwiness.

now you don't get nastygrams if a game's save dir exists but there are no save files to save; it just skips that one. play it some more and you'll see the saves show up again.

now uses the current directory as the path if no path is provided.

improved help instructions.
