Miscellaneous buglettes

[Adam Spiers <adam@thelonious.new.ox.ac.uk>]

I've been building a list of bugs (I think) I've discovered with
3.1.6.  Ideally I would like to have checked they haven't already been
fixed before reporting them, but you guys work so damn fast that I
can't keep up with all your patches.  I don't think I've seen any of
these mentioned recently, but to this end if someone gets around to
providing anonymous CVS, I'd be enormously grateful.  In the meantime,
realistically the best I can manage is patches to pws-2.

  - HIST_FIND_NO_DUPS option not documented (or NEWS is wrong, one of
    the two)

  - Minor bugs in the info pages (fixed by patch below).  For future
    reference, is it necessary to include patches to zsh.texi when
    patch *.yo?

  - Try ls \ <enter>, then press C-d repeatedly.

  - In the Completion System/Completion Functions section of the
    info page, the bit describing _long_options refers to -help
    where it should refer to --help.  This is odd, because the
    corresponding .yo file refers to --help AFAICS.  I've no idea
    how to fix this.

  - zle -R foo from the command line prints garbage.

  - _history_complete_word only works on recent history, not saved
    history AFAICS.  This is a problem specifically with compgen -H, I
    presume.

Hope this is of use, and I hope you don't wince too much at the
newbie-ness which must be self-evident in this post :-)

By the way, I took a .spec file from an old 3.1.5 source rpm floating
around, and cleaned it up and got it working with 3.1.6-pws-2.  It
takes advantage of that new DESTDIR patch too.  If anyone would like
to see it, let me know.
