For security reasons, don't use the current directory but the home
directory while searching and scanning troffrc and troffrc-end. Similarly, replace the current directory with the home directory in the font path. * Makefile.in (fontpath, tmacpath): Remove current directory. * src/libs/libgroff/searchpath.cc (search_path::search_path): Add two parameters `add_home' and `add_current'. (search_path::~search_path, search_path::command_line_dir, search_path::open_file): Remove tests for `dirs' being zero. * src/include/searchpath.h: Adjust. * src/libs/libgroff/macropath.cc, src/include/macropath.h: Add `safer_macro_path'. * src/libs/libgroff/fontfile.cc: Adjust `font_path'. * src/roff/troff/troff.h: Add `searchpath.h' and `mac_path'. * src/roff/troff/input.cc: Use `mac_path', initialized with `macro_path'. (process_startup_file): Set `mac_path' to `safer_macro_path'. * src/roff/troff/env.cc: Use `mac_path'. * src/preproc/eqn/main.cc (main): Use `safer_macro_path'. * NEWS, man/roff.man, src/roff/troff/troff.man, src/rof/groff/groff.man, tmac/groff_tmac.man, arch/djgpp/README: Updated. * src/include/lib.h: Don't include groff-getopt.h for OSF/1. * aclocal.m4 (GROFF_SYS_ERRLIST): Do test in C, not in C++. * configure.in: Fix typo in comment. * configure: Regenerated. * src/libgroff/*, src/include/*, src/roff/troff/*: Fixing copyright dates.
