Improve the calc build and release process

Browse Source 
We apologize for the calc v2.14.0.12 source tarball that was missing
critical files.  While the executable was well tested, our release
process was deficient.

We are improved our release process and added tests during the release
procedure to help verify that we are not regressing in to the "v2.14.0.12
source tarball" issue, among other things.

Depending on how things do, you might is several releases come out over
a short period of time.  The core of calc isn't changing, so the calc
executable will be the same as we focus on the Makefiles, our release
procedure, and related documentation / help files.

We made several changes to the Makefiles.  We also added a new
README.RELEASE document (see "help release") that is a work in
progress. Along the way we discovered a few things that needed to be
updated in documentation.

See the CHANGES file for details.

The following are the changes from calc version 2.14.0.13 to date:
Minor tweak to seed() builtin. Updated help/srand and help/srandom.
Moved Makefile.ship into Makefile.
Removed custom/Makefile.head and custom/Makefile.tail.
The custom/Makefile is now part of source and includes Makefile.
In particular, custom/Makefile makes use of the 'middle' of
the new top level Makefile where calc's top level Makefile
variables are defined.
Makefile.simple and custom/Makefile.simple are now part of the source
and are constructed from Makefile and custom/Makefile respectively.
The Makefile.simple and custom/Makefile.simple avoid using GNU
conditionals. They may be used with older/classic make commands.
Makefile.local will include comments about how to better use
it. Between releases, Makefile.local at the top of the master branch
will contain how we typically build calc and test calc (FYI: we
normally enable things such as -Werror -Wextra -pedantic). When we
push out a release, Makefile.local will be stripped of non-comment
lines. Thus, releases of calc, and, released "calc*.src.rpm"
files and the source tarballs, will have a Makefile.local with
only comments.
The "README.*" files and "HOWTO.INSTALL" file have been updated.
By default, compiler warnings have been turned up. The Makefile
variable ${CCWARN} now defaults to:
CCWARN= -Wall -Wextra -pedantic
The previous level of compiler warnings can be easily restored by
adding to Makefile.local:
CCWARN:= -Wall
The readline, history and ncurses libraries are now default.
The Makefile variables ${USE_READLINE}, ${READLINE_LIB}, and
${READLINE_EXTRAS} now default to:
USE_READLINE= -DUSE_READLINE
READLINE_LIB= -lreadline
READLINE_EXTRAS= -lhistory -lncurses
The previous mode where readline, history and ncurses libraries
were not compiled in by default can be easily restored by
adding to Makefile.local:
USE_READLINE:=
READLINE_LIB:=
READLINE_EXTRAS:=
We have renamed "stable" as "production".
We have renamed "unstable" as "tested".
On the web site:
http://www.isthe.com/chongo/src/calc/
these files has been renamed:
2.x.y.z_IS_LATEST_STABLE ==> 2.x.y.z_IS_LATEST_PRODUCTION
2.x.y.z_IS_LATEST_UNSTABLE ==> 2.x.y.z_IS_LATEST_TESTED
The terms 'stable' and 'unstable' were both misleading and
inaccurate. For details see the new documention file:
README.RELEASE
See also the help command:
; help release
Fixed bug impacting how have_ustat.h was formed.
Updated help/archive to reflect GitHub use.
The following are the changes from calc version 2.14.0.11 to 2.14.0.12:
Fixed a number of typos.
