The current version of hamlib cannot cope with unsolicited responses
from rigs therefore AI mode should be turned off on any rigs that
support it in case a previous program left it on.
After some testing with an FT-450 it is apparent that Yaesu use at
least some of the busy/invalid CAT responses that Kenwood document in
their current CAT protocol. The response received from the FT-450 was
a "?;" from occasional "IF;" commands. In the Kenwood World this means
that the command cannot be processed, this could mean it is
unrecognized or it could be a transient condition while the rig
processor is busy. The Kenwood backend has the ability to retry after
this and some other error responses.
Since the Kenwood error response codes are unambigous in the Yaesu
language this change implements a similar protocol for Yaesu "newcat"
backends. Each backend may choose how many reties by defining the
'retry' parameter in the rig capabilities structure.
Also cleaned up a lot of code duplication.

I have a problem with the CM119A GPIO. The PTT line of the DMK
Engineering URI was not activated by the hamlib when using fldigi or
rigctl.
I fiddled with the source code and managed to edit the code in cm108.c
to get the PTT-line activate on my URI-box.
A successful rigctl command is:
rigctl -p /dev/hidraw0 -C ptt_pathname=/dev/hidraw0,ptt_type=CM108,ptt_bitnum=2
Attached is the modified source code file and a patch in 'git diff'
format.
The version of origin is 1.2.15.3.

The Icom IC-7100 back end added this enum instead of using the extant
RIG_PTT_RIG enum. Also the rig_get_ptt() implementation didn't handle
it and errored out.
Note: RIG_PTT_SERIAL_CAT was added in commit

The RT-21 will accept the command 'AP1XXX.Y<CR>;' which allows settings
to 1/10 of a degree. XXX must be zero padded. '<CR>' causes the RT-21
to rotate to the position immediately with out the need for a following
'AM1;' command.
Tested by Will, WC2L.
The RT-21 returns a variable length string that is terminated by a
semicolon (';') and shorter strings have a leading space character as a
pad. As a result the read_string() function is used to read the string
from the port and strtof() is used to obtain the numeric value returned
by the RT-21. Tested by Will, WC2L.
Even though the Green Heron RT-21 rotor controller is billed as being
RotorEZ compatible, it returns its value as 'XXX;' instead of ';XXX'.
As a new backend model is being written anyway, the backend query's the
controller to return the real value which is 'XXX.Y;'.
I have a small patch to correct the install location of the python
bindings.
Since it's not a pure python extension is belongs in pyexecdir instead
of pythondir, which for multilib systems like Fedora will get installed
into /usr/lib64/python{ver}/site-packages on 64bit systems.
This is consistent with the automake documentation:

I am making a Haskell binding to hamlib and this anonymous struct was
creating some issues for me. I am not a C-coder by day, but I think this
is harmless to add here.

This allows repeatable regression testing where a command has a finite
"settling" time. This will probably be of most use in the related
rotctl command set.
In order to write regression tests before making disruptive changes to
back ends I have added a new command to the rigctl parser which is '-'
that causes it to read commands from stdin until they are exhausted.
The commands must be white space separated and can include comments
from a '#' character until the end of the current line.
I wrote first support for new version of FUNcube Dongle. Differences
against original FCD are changed USB PID and wider frequency range.

Added option to not use VFO XCHG command when setting split
parameters.
Merge branch 'change_icom_sub_access' of git://git.code.sf.net/u/bsomervi/hamlib
The NET_LIBS configuration variable was not being exapanded in the
pkgpconfig template file. This caused static builds against hamlib to
fail on Windows because the WinSock library was not referenced.
The YACK() macro generates a message of variable length due the
__FILE__ string and a message returned by MS FormatMessage() being
inserted into a fixed length string buffer. I have increased the
buffer length to 1024 bytes and used snprintf to avoid overflows.
It looks like the whole YACK() macro should do nothing unless DEBUG is
defined so there is probably a small performance gain to be had by
doing that also. I have left that to the experts to decide.
With Icom rigs that use MAIN?SUB VFOs there is a trade off when
setting the mode or frequency of the "other" VFO. Untill now Hamlib
uses the XCHG VFO command to address the "other" VFO. This has some
advantages, particularly it preserves the selected VFO and it
preserves memory mode of either VFO. The disadvantage is that any
split command causes the Rx to glitch when the VFO/MEMs are exchanged.
I have added a config parameter for Icom rigs called "no_xchg" which
forces the direct addressing of VFOs to set split mode/frequency. It
is a boolean option with a default of "0" (false) which equates to
prior behaviour. Setting it to "1" (true) will make the backend use
change VFO commands to set the "other" VFO. This means that TX on
"SUB" in split is assumed, that both are in VFO mode (not MEM), and
set/get split functions will leave the MAIN VFO selected.
MinGW was issuing the following warning:
CC rig.lo
rig.c: In function 'rig_init':
rig.c:330:36: warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast [enabled by default]
rs->rigport.parm.cm108.ptt_bitnum = DEFAULT_CM108_PTT_BITNUM;
^
The constant DEFAULT_CM108_PTT_BITNUM was being defined as a string on
non-linux platforms. Now defined to an integer on these platforms. The
actual value may need to be corrected at some point in the future when
CM108 support is completed for those platforms.
The get mode function was not taking account of the extra mode bit in
the IF passband status byte. Also the set mode function was not
supporting the full set of available rig modes.
Added tuning step and bandwidth data for the newly supported modes.
