prolog options

["Albert REINER" <nospam@thanx>]

Saluton,

I think it would be a good idea to have the possibility to pass an
option to a prolog script, and it seems that it would be simple (I am
still using wml 2.0.1, I have to confess; simply disregard this mail
if this facility is already there in the newer versions).

At least for 2.0.1, all one has to do is to make sure that wml's
$prolog variable has the correct quotes, and then I can give an
argument like -P "program --option".

*** 1039,1045 ****
  #   determine prologs
  $prolog = '';
  foreach $p (@opt_P) {
!     $prolog .= " -P '$p'";
  }

  $defipp = '';
--- 1039,1045 ----
  #   determine prologs
  $prolog = '';
  foreach $p (@opt_P) {
!     $prolog .= " -P \"$p\"";
  }

  $defipp = '';

And in wmk, we need:

  foreach $a (@opt_D) { $OD .= ' -D "'.&quotearg($a).'"'; }

  $OP = '';
! foreach $a (@opt_P) { $OP .= ' -P '.$a; }

  $OE = '';
  foreach $a (@opt_E) { $OE .= ' -E '.$a; }
--- 215,222 ----
  foreach $a (@opt_D) { $OD .= ' -D "'.&quotearg($a).'"'; }

  $OP = '';
! foreach $a (@opt_P) { $OP .= " -P \"$a\""; }

  $OE = '';
  foreach $a (@opt_E) { $OE .= ' -E '.$a; }
----------------------------------------------------------------

What do you think of it?

Albert.
