YET ANOTHER CONFIG CHANGE -- PLEASE READ.
This chagne allows command-line scripts to continue to work without
defining a bunch of environment variables. Hopefully this will be the
last change...
Now only $webwork_dir is set in webwork.apache-config. That file then
uses this value to read the course environment and get the rest of the
configuration values that it needs out of global.conf. global.conf now
has variables like $webwork_url, $pg_dir, etc. at the top.
In summary:
* In httpd.conf, include webwork.apache-config.
* In webwork.apache-config set $webwork_dir to the path to webwork2.
* In global.conf, set $webwork_url, $pg_dir, $webwork_htdocs_url,
$webwork_htdocs_dir, $webwork_courses_url, and $webwork_courses_dir.

MORE CONFIG CHANGES -- PLEASE READ.
I've changed the way WeBWorK is configured yet again. The Apache
configuration for WeBWorK is now done with <Perl> sections. This solves
the problem of "seeding" global.conf with initial values for the various
root directories and base URLs. it also eliminates redundancy in the
Apache configuration file itself.
The Apache configuration for WeBWorK is now contained in the file
conf/webwork.apache-config. This file is used both for normal systems,
where WeBWorK is integrated into the main Apache server, and development
systems, where each developer runs his or her own Apache server.
Inside webwork.apache-config, seven configuation variables are set:
$webwork_url The base URL handled by Apache::WeBWorK.
$webwork_dir The path to the base webwork2 directory.
$pg_dir The path to the base pg directory.
$webwork_htdocs_url The base URL of the WeBWorK htdocs directory.
$webwork_htdocs_dir The path to the WeBWorK htdocs directory.
$webwork_courses_url The base URL of the WeBWorK courses directory.
$webwork_courses_dir The path to the WeBWorK courses directory.
These variables are used to configure the <Location>, Alias, AliasMatch,
and <Directory> directives necessary for WeBWorK operation.
$webwork_root and $pg_root are also used in "use lib" lines to add the
WeBWorK and PG lib directories to @INC.
Additionally, the above values are shared with WeBWorK via the
%WeBWorK::SeedCE hash. WeBWorK.pm passes the contents of this hash
(along with a value for "courseName") to CourseEnvironment.pm when
initializing the course environment. In turn, CourseEnvironment.pm seeds
the course environment namespace with these variables before evaluating
global.conf and course.conf.

BIG CHANGES -- PLEASE READ.
- Changed the format of global.conf so that each setting is its own
statement. This makes it easier for users to override settings for a
course -- they can simply copy the single line from global.conf and
change the value. It also makes it easier to talk about individual
values in documentation.
- Commented each value with a description and advice. Finally! Yay!
- Moved the dvipng options to a new subhash of %pg. They are now in
$pg{displayModeOptions}{images}. Modified PG.pm and Problem.pm to match.
The next step is to do some organizaitonal work on this file so that the
most-chagned options are near the top.
Please tell me if you experience any problems as a result of these
changes! (Or better yet, submit at patch!)

Provide mechanism for adding extra problem library buttons
to the Library Browser.
These changes allow you to specify (via course.conf or global.conf)
that certain subdirectories of the templates directory are to have
separate buttons in the top panel of the Set Maker. These buttons
only appear if the directories actually exist, and any other
directories are listed in the "Local Problems" button as usual. If
the list of these directories is empty (the default), then the results
are just like they currently are, but it allows one more level of
separation of the hierarchy for those who want it.
The idea is to make symbolic links to the problem libraries from
Rochester, ASU, etc., and have separate buttons for these. This
avoids having one monster menu with all the problems in it. (Of
course, you could make buttons for any directories you want.) There
are instructions in global.conf.dist that exmplain how to do configure
this.

Added defaultDisplayMatrixStyle from webwork 1, which lets people control
if they have parens or square brackets on the outsides of their matricies.
It is not really an answer evaluator variable, but it is put there since
that works and putting it with options doesn't.

UPDATE YOUR CONFIG FILES! (global.conf.dist, database.conf.dist)
Made changes to support the storage of multiple database layouts in a
single course environment. Database layouts are now stored in a hash
named %dbLayouts in database.conf, and the default layout is aliased to
*dbLayout (see comments in database.conf.dist and global.conf.dist)
sql.conf and gdbm.conf are no longer used.
Support the selection of a specific database layout when instantiating
WeBWorK::DB. WeBWorK::DB now takes a reference to a database layout
rather than an entire course environment.
All calls to WeBWorK::DB::new were updated to pass the correct argument.

Normalized headers. All files now contain the text below as a header.
This is important since all files now (a) use the full name of the
package, (b) assign copyright to "The WeBWorK Project", (c) give the
full path of the file (relative to CVSROOT) instead of simply the file
name, and (d) include license and warranty information.
Here is the new header:

Rewrote ImageGenerator to work with WeBWorK2. Its arguments are now
passed in via an options hash instead of getting a whole %envir. Also,
the options are passed to the constructor and there is no initialize()
method. add() has the same interface, and render() has been changed
slightly. (This closes Bug #80!)
To make this work with 1.8, take a look at how I'm creating
ImageGenerator in &WeBWorK::PG::defineProblemEnvironment and make the
necessary modifications to processProblem8.pl.
I made changes to WeBWorK::PG to have "images" mode trigger HTML_dpng
rather than HTML_img, and also to create an ImageGenerator before
initializing and call render() after translation.
Also in PG, I shortened the names of the equation image files. They're
now "equation-$PSVN-$probnum-$seed.png". This has the added benefit of
forcing image regeneration if the problem seed changes, closing Bug
#70.
Equation files are now dumped directly into the $courseDirs{HTML_temp}
directory. This means that no one has to worry about whether "m2i"
exists any more.
global.conf.dist was changed to not include the switches to dvipng on
the command line (they're currently hardcoded into ImageGenerator).
I still have to get this to work with dvipng 0.3. I should also take
advantages of 0.3's new features, like pipelining (using the -follow
switch) and specifying the output file name (to avoid the "move" of
resulting images).
This is MUCH FASTER than the way I was calling dvipng, and I think it's
safe to say that it's a better method. Thanks JJ!

Added a section for special variables to be passed to the safe
environment:
%pg=(....
specialPGEnvironmentVars => {
PRINT_FILE_NAMES_FOR =>
['gage','apizer','voloshin','lr003k','professor'],
CAPA_Tools =>
"$courseDirs{macros}/CAPA_Tools/",
CAPA_MCTools =>
"$courseDirs{macros}/CAPA_MCTools/",
CAPA_Graphics_URL =>
"$courseDirs{html}/CAPA_Graphics/",
CAPA_GraphicsDirectory =>
"$courseDirs{html}CAPA_Graphics/",
},
...
);
this fixes bug #66 (actually a feature request).
It allows professors to see the file names of the problems they
are looking at. It allows the interpretation of CAPA problems as well.

Modified directory so that
lib => $webworkroot/lib
becomes
lib => $pgRoot/lib since this is where the *.pm macro files for the pg language go.
Should this lib be changed to pglib? (there might have to be a lot of changes to make this work.)

removed per-course logs from the initial definition of the
$webworkFiles{logs} hash, and put them below, where the
$courseDirs{logs} variable is defined.
(This is sort of an issue -- I want only files/dirs/URLs that are
necessarily tied to a course to be "course" files/dirs/URLs. The
transaction log (for example) could be in a location that wasn't
course-dependant just as easily. Perhaps this whole business of
"webwork" versus "course" locations is arbitrary? Should it be
rethought?)
Also fixed some formatting problems. (Mike -- I would LOVE it if you
would use spaces for aligning your equals signs, instead of tabs!)

phew.
NOTE that there are new directives in global.conf.dist. You won't be
able to use the professor pages until you've made that change.
Also, I added new template escapes and updated the barebones and ur
templates.
