problems with rdist

[Rob Robertson]

add to the list:

*) i wanna be able to group files better so that i can selectively
   rdist out packages, not just till the from a a label to the end 
   of the distfile.

*) macros (which i think tom mentioned).

*) wild card expansion on the remote host statements like:

	execpt /etc/hosts.* 

   get expanded on the LOCAL SERVER not on the remote side.

*) expansion of tilda's occurs locally, thus if your sending from
   /home/test/rob to /home/xxx/rob by (~rob/ ) -> xxx it fails.
   (i have fixed this).

*) this is tough:  hard links on the server file system that end up
   being separate file systems on the remote end.  there should be
   a way to specify what to do.

*) i also tried to install a file called "install" once it bombed due
   to a problem in the yacc code.  (in  the queue to be fixed).
