   Revision 1.12  1999/07/10 22:15:30  rjmcnab
   Added function check_external_cgiargs so that actions that
   are not being called can override cgi arguments.

   Revision 1.11  1999/06/08 04:29:41  sjboddie
   added argsinfo to the call to check_cgiargs to make it easy to set
   args to their default if they're found to be screwed up

   Revision 1.10  1999/03/25 03:06:44  sjboddie

   altered receptionist slightly so it now passes *collectproto to
   define_internal_macros and define_external_macros - need it
   for browseaction

   Revision 1.9  1999/02/28 23:16:00  rjmcnab

   Fixed a compiler warning.

   Revision 1.8  1999/02/28 20:00:11  rjmcnab


   Fixed a few things.

   Revision 1.7  1999/02/25 21:58:58  rjmcnab

   Merged sources.

   Revision 1.6  1999/02/21 22:33:52  rjmcnab

   Lots of stuff :-)

   Revision 1.5  1999/02/11 01:24:04  rjmcnab

   Fixed a few compiler warnings.

   Revision 1.4  1999/02/08 01:27:59  rjmcnab

   Got the receptionist producing something using the statusaction.

   Revision 1.3  1999/02/05 10:42:41  rjmcnab

   Continued working on receptionist

   Revision 1.2  1999/02/04 10:00:53  rjmcnab

   Developed the idea of an "action" and having them define the cgi arguments
   which they need and how those cgi arguments function.

   Revision 1.1  1999/01/08 08:40:52  rjmcnab

   Moved from lib directory.

   Revision 1.1  1999/01/08 03:57:44  rjmcnab
