crossfire problems

[(Walter Misar)]

I tried the newest snapshot (7.2.) from
http://langmuir.eecs.berkeley.edu/pub/peterm, and configure dies with
test: argument expected. The Problem are lines like:
if eval "test -z $FOO"; then

This fails if $FOO isn't set. What's the purpose of the eval there ?
Deleting the eval, removing the global quoting and induvidually quoting
the variables should be fine. Probably all those occurences of eval
in configure.in should be deleted - since I don't want to go through
the trouble of installing automake, etc, my diff is against the
configure Script, and probably only useful as an illustration.

The second diff (of server/skill_util.c) is just a typo fix
(unweild -> unwield).

Third, crossedit cores on me (solaris 7), I'll look into the Probelm
if I can find the source of the problem (the server runs without problems),
crossedit of 0.95.4 cored too.
