New TODOs: Support sudo(8), Notification area icon with gtk_status_icon_new()

- No more settings struct. We now have a shutdown_t struct, which holds information relevant to the shutdown process, a user_specs struct, which holds all directly user-specified information, and two global variables: config_path and shutdown_path (both of type char *). Many changes have been made to incorporate these changes
- Further passing of variables rather than accessing them externally. Note that we're passing the new specs struct to functions that you would normally expect not to require it (e.g., get_user_specs()). This is because there may be more stored in specs in the future than just stuff displayed in the main window
- load_user_specs() (formerly load_settings()) now only modifies settings on a successful call
- Better usage of macros in downtime.h for settings default user specs
- New function update_user_specs(user_specs *specs) which updates the struct pointed to by specs to reflect (at this point) the current settings in the main window
- Myriad minor improvements

New to-dos

- Slight renamings. In particular, shutdown_params -> state, and the aforementioned struct's config_location parameter is now config_path
- init_state() created (and used) to initialise the global settings
- If we couldn't find the location of the configuration file, disable the ability to save / remember settings
- Graphically warn the user if there was a problem loading saved settings, unless the problem in question is simply that the file doesn't exist
- Check for non-printable characters (other than newline) when reading the configuration file
- Correctly output the configuration file name in the error dialogue which appears if we couldn't open a file specified through File -> Open

- Broke start_shutdown() apart
- Miscellaneous corrections and improvements

New to-do: Break up start_shutdown()

load_settings() now returns status information.

About to look at settings (i.e., the shutdown_params struct) and passing between functions

Update to reflect the now implemented error-checking on several functions (e.g.: array_add())

- Miscellaneous cleanups / minor corrections / improvements
- Slightly improved shutdown(8) output handling and handling possibilities

- Improve shutdown(8) output handling greatly. DownTime will now no longer wait indefinitely for shutdown(8) to output a PID
- If we couldn't find the shutdown(8) PID, disable the pause button in the progress dialog, don't keep checking whether the process is active (can't, don't know it's PID, assuming it exists) and don't prompt to terminate a shutdown on DownTime exit
- START_SHUTDOWN_PID_OUTPUT is now defined in downtime.h for easier manipulation, given that it's likely to change across platforms

- Instead of writing the value of an enum member to the configuration file for the "timeout_unit" and "shutdown_type", write a string describing the desired setting. Though this requires more effort to deal with and more execution time, it makes up for it in the robustness stakes. That having been said, it's still a bit messy and I can't help but feel that an array of structs with a number and parameter name each might help provide a better solution
- Correctly report negative shutdown timeout

 - Bump version number to 0.2.0-dev. Sufficient changes have been made, and further significant changes - including breaking configuration file compatibility with previous versions - are to come
 - New TODOs
 - Implement long int max_minutes_to_shutdown(void), which returns the maximum number of minutes until a scheduled shutdown (for instance, it will return 7 when a shutdown is to occur in 6 minutes and 3 seconds)
 - Miscellaneous cleanups
 - Start of a "shutdown_type" struct - trying to clean up the shutdown type selection menu and interactions and allow the searching of shutdown types based on name (the motivation here is the potential to specify a shutdown type in words in the DownTime configuration file. So, for instance, the following line might be common in the file: "<shutdown_type>power-off</shutdown_type>")
 - Use single bit bit-fields in the shutdown_params struct rather than char types for boolean variables to potentially converse 2 bytes on most machines

Update to reflect completed tasks

Clean up

Version 0.1.3

New TODO - Always on top and remember window positions

Fix memory leaks

Added a new TODO: use realloc() in add_to_string_array()

Additional TODO: "Do not show me this again" option for the shutdown(8) permissions warning

Note that Linux systems don't seem to have shutdown(8) setuid root, so checking the binary's file permissions doesn't tell us much

(NOTE: Commit date wrong. Imported into CVS after release)

Initial, version 0.1 release!
