#
#	Given a list of words for ispell, generate a reduced list
#	in which all possible affixes have been collapsed.  The reduced
#	list will match the same list as the original.
#
#	Usage:
#
#	munchlist [-l lang] [-c lang] [-s hashfile] [-D] [-w chars] [-v] \
#	  [file] ...
#
#	Options:
#
#	-l lang	Specifies the language table to be used.  The default
#		is "$LIBDIR/default.aff".
#	-c lang	Specifies "conversion" language table.  If this option is
#		given, the input file(s) will be assumed to be described by
#		this table, rather than the table given in the -l option.
#		This may be used to convert between incompatible language
#		tables.  (When in doubt, use this option -- it doesn't
#		hurt, and it may save you from creating a dictionary that has
#		illegal words in it).  The default is no conversion.
#	-T suff Specifies that the source word lists are in the format
#		of a "suff"-suffixed file, rather than in the
#		canonical form.  For example, "-T tex" specifies that
#		string characters in the word lists are in TeX format.
#		The string character conversions are taken from the language
#		table specified by the "-l" switch.
#	-s	Remove any words that are already covered by the
#		dictionary in 'hashfile'.  The words will be removed
#		only if all affixes are covered.  This option should not be
#		specified when the main dictionary is being munched.
#		'Hashfile' must have been created with the language
#		table given in the -l option, but this is not checked.
#	-D	Leave temporary files for debugging purposes
#	-w	Passed on to ispell (specify chars that are part of a word)
#		Unfortunately, special characters must be quoted twice
#		rather than once when invoking this script.  Also, since
#		buildhash doesn't accept this option, the final ispell -l
#		step ignores it, making it somewhat less than useful.
#	-v	Report progress to stderr.
#
#	The given input files are merged, then processed by 'ispell -c'
#	to generate possible affix lists;  these are then combined
#	and reduced.  The final result is written to standard output.
#
#	For portability to older systems, I have avoided getopt.

# Revision 1.70  2015-02-08 00:35:41-08  geoff
# Be a bit more paranoid about creating temporary files.  Fix a problem
# with detecting a new-style sort that refuses to be backwards
# compatible (and yes, it's still cretinism to break backwards
# compatibility--but I have to put up with the cretins).
#
# Revision 1.69  2005/04/28 14:46:51  geoff
# Remove references to the now-obsolete count file.
#
# Revision 1.68  2005/04/27 01:18:34  geoff
# Work around idiotic POSIX incompatibilities in sort.  Add secure
# temp-file handling.
#
# Revision 1.67  2005/04/14 23:11:36  geoff
# Pass the -w switch to icombine.
#
# Revision 1.66  2005/04/14 21:25:52  geoff
# Make the temporary-file handling safer (using mktemp, if it exists).
#
# Revision 1.65  2005/04/14 14:39:33  geoff
# Use /tmp as the default temp directory
#
# Revision 1.64  2005/04/14 14:38:23  geoff
# Update license.  Protect against modernized (i.e., incompatible) and
# internationalized sort commands.  Change the debugging names of the
# minimal-affixes count and stat files.
#
# Revision 1.63  2002/06/20 23:46:16  geoff
# Add yet more locale definitions so that we won't run into bugs caused
# by sorting inconsistencies.
#
# Revision 1.62  2001/09/06 00:30:28  geoff
# Many changes from Eli Zaretskii to support DJGPP compilation.
#
# Revision 1.61  2001/07/25 21:51:46  geoff
# Minor license update.
#
# Revision 1.60  2001/07/23 20:24:04  geoff
# Update the copyright and the license.
#
# Revision 1.59  2001/06/07 08:02:18  geoff
# Fix a copule of typos in comments.
#
# Revision 1.58  2000/11/14 07:27:04  geoff
# Don't generate an extra dot when attempting to preserve the count
# files in -D mode.
#
# Revision 1.57  2000/10/06 23:59:48  geoff
# Don't assume dot is in the path
#
# Revision 1.56  1999/01/07 01:22:42  geoff
# Update the copyright.
#
# Revision 1.55  1997/12/02  06:25:01  geoff
# Start the cross-expansions loop count at 1, not zero.
#
# Revision 1.54  1997/12/01  00:53:52  geoff
# Abort the munchlist cross-product loop if it goes over 100 passes.
#
# Revision 1.53  1995/01/08  23:23:36  geoff
# Support variable hashfile suffixes for DOS purposes.
#
# Revision 1.52  1994/12/27  23:08:46  geoff
# Dynamically determine how to pass backslashes to 'tr' so that it'll
# work on any machine.  Define LC_CTYPE to work around yet more
# internationalized sort programs.  Work around a bug in GNU uniq that
# uses the wrong separator between counts and duplicated lines.
#
# Revision 1.51  1994/11/21  07:02:54  geoff
# Correctly quote the arguments to 'tr' when detecting systems with
# unsigned sorts.  Be sure to provide a zero exit status on all systems,

#
# Revision 1.50  1994/10/25  05:46:05  geoff
# Export values for LANG and LOCALE in an attempt to override some
# stupidly-internationalized sort programs.
#
# Revision 1.49  1994/10/04  03:51:30  geoff
# Add the MUNCHMAIL feature.  If the MUNCHMAIL environment variable is
# set to an email address, debugging information about the munchlist run
# will automatically be collected and mailed to that address.
#
# Revision 1.48  1994/05/17  06:32:06  geoff
# Don't look for affix tables in LIBDIR if the name contains a slash
#

# LEGALFLAGLIST now contains root/flag combinations that, when expanded,
# produce only words from EXPANDEDPAIRS.  However, there is still a
# problem if the language tables have any cross-product flags.  A legal
# root may appear in LEGALFLAGLIST with two flags that participate
# in cross-products.  When such a dictionary entry is expanded,
# the cross-products will generate some extra words that may not
# be in EXPANDEDPAIRS.  We need to remove these from LEGALFLAGLIST.
#
# The first step is to collect the names of the flags that participate
# in cross-products.  Ispell will dump the language tables for us, and
# sed is a pretty handy way to strip out extra information.  We use
# uniq -c and a numerical sort to put the flags in approximate order of how
# "productive" they are (in terms of how likely they are to generate a lot
# of output words).  The least-productive flags are given last and will
# be removed first.

# providing us with a field to sort on.
