June Unoffical Open Requests for hg changes

This blog entry is a summary of open "unoffical" requests for forte hg changes, that should not be forgotten because they have a user / developer impact.

Unofficial, because 
  • LMS is only partly in hg
  • The requests only affect usability. Usability issues are low priority.
Request: So wstring and iso flags appear together in the Cmake gui,
it would be nice if FORTE_UNICODE_SUPPORT
was renamed to FORTE_USE_UNICODE_SUPPORT

The following hg updates would be helpful:
1. setup_lms.sh - change the default eCos path to LMSecosDir from """
Reason: If setup_lms.sh is accidently run without changing the path then system lib directory will be copied into bin/lms and must be deleted. Better error is just that the directory doesn't exist.
2.  .cproject with finish_lms make entry- Under the make menu finish_lms needs to added (setup_lms.sh as example). 
3. Add buildsupport/toolchain.txt to hg.
Reason: Have to copy it in each time from somewhere.
