A whole bunch of minor cosmetic changes.
Alter the licensing of libstatgrab. The library part is now under the LGPL, whilst the tools/examples are under the GPL. Both licenses are included in the distribution (and are both now in CVS). Also made a minor alteration to the webpage where it said everything was licensed under the GPL.
Remove a line added for Cygwin that's no longer needed.
Make libstatgrab functions return NULL for stats that can't be fetched on cygwin.
Add support for cygwin. This is a bit limited, there's a few things that can't be retrieved on cygwin such as load averages, diskio, network io, and process stats. The package compiles and runs, and both saidar and statgrab work. Taken from a patch submitted by Ron Arts <raarts@netland.nl>. Thanks Ron!
Tidy up of lots of little things. :)
Tidy up of configure script, and includes.
Removed references to ukcprog.h. Fixed a missing * in the disk stats. And removed a block of linux stuff that shouldn't have been there :-) All with Pete's approval, of course.
The new revesion of libstatgrab, which is a complete rewrite essentially. Firstly the data is now returned in structures rather than xml strings. The structures returned are all static, so what ever calls the library doesn't have to deal with the memory management of it. Secondly the general efficency of the code is now significantly faster. It no longer needs to fork a process, connect file descriptors and run ps, and then parse the output like it used to. Now it walks /proc and reads it into the correct data structures. This works without needing any special privilages, so it can still run as a normal mortal without needing any special group. (Freebsd will be an exception to this, but this commit only works with solaris, and that requires nothing special) Thridly it has more functionality than it used to. It not for instance is capable of showing network traffic stats, (although its not completely finished yet). It also in the near future be able to disk io stats as well. Several bug fixes have been aplied over the original version. For example the cpu_stats used to only reply the stats for the first processor. This now will report the total stats of all of them. Paging stats will also be fixed, but haven't been done yet.
