ELM2.4ME+ INSTALLATION
Installed files are tracked during installation. List of files is keep on /usr/local/etc/mail/elm/elm.filelist. That is done with program elmregister.

Tool /usr/local/etc/mail/elm/elmuninstall can used to uninstall elm (without that source tree is available -- so that "make uninstall" can be used.)

Commands elmterminal, elmrc-write, elmunidata and elmcharset are executed after installation. These commands are recorded to /usr/local/etc/mail/elm/elm.filelist during installation. Source data for these commands are stored to stage directory (../var/stage-elm2.4me+) during installation. These recorded post-install commands are executed with elmregister replay (make install does that automatically).

Configure asks that should to Makefile create package target. The command
	make package ROOT=/directory
can be used to install elm to directory /directory without executing post-install command. Post installation commands are assumed to be executed with the command
	/usr/local/lib/elm/elmregister replay -M all
(if /directory is moved to / i.e. final destination).
The command
	/directory/$lib/elmregister replay -M all -R /directory
can be used to move files from /directory to / and execute post-install commands. That command is recorded to file /directory/README.PACKAGE.sh.

The command
	/usr/local/lib/elm/elmregister -M all unstage
may be used to uninstall temporary files from stage directory (../var/stage-elm2.4me+). After that command elmregister replay do not have effect.

The command make install does elmregister -M all unstage after elmregister -M all replay

The command
	/usr/local/lib/elm/elmregister -M all list
can be used to generate file listing suitable for tar -command.

The command
	/usr/local/lib/elm/elmregister -M all list-directories
can be used for generate directory listing so that directories can be pre-created before extracting tar created from elmregister -M all list listing. Note that this listing does not include all parent directories.

The command
	/usr/local/lib/elm/elmregister -M all rpm-list
can be used to generate file listing suitable for rpm %files section.

The command
	/usr/local/lib/elm/elmregister -M module filter
can be used to generate file listing of certain module
(without -M option gives listing of files which
have not marked for certain module).
