[OPEN-ILS-DEV] OpenSRF Makefile, source, bourne shell, bash, dash

[Jason Etheridge]

This came up before
(http://list.georgialibraries.org/pipermail/open-ils-dev/2007-July/001451.html),
but I was installing OpenSRF on Kubuntu and got this error:

CFLAGS=-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE make verbose
source install.conf && make -C src all
/bin/sh: source: not found
make: *** [verbose] Error 127

"source" is an built-in shell command, and my /bin/sh was symlinked to
dash, which doesn't have "source".

Bash, of course, does have source.  Would it be more portable for us
to change "source" to "." everywhere we use it?

So instead of "source install.conf", for example, we could use ". install.conf"
