Remove ill-advised cygwin_props
Cygwin_props have been invented to allow switching off the unique
installation keys in the first place, supposedly for debugging.
This never really was a good idea, after all we *want* the installations
to be independent and there's no good reason to break that, not even
for debugging purposes.
Other than that, cygwin_props were meant to be used for some other global
settings which never took place. There's just no good reason to tweak
the DLL binary invisibly where a setting could be done in a file or the
environment.
This patch removes the cygwin_props entirely, including the related
settings in cygcheck.
cygwin:
* cygprops.h: Remove file.
* globals.cc (cygwin_props): Remove.
* cygheap.cc (init_cygheap::init_installation_root): Drop removing
installation key.
utils:
* cygcheck.cc: Drop including cygprops.h. Remove now unused option
values.
(unique_object_name_opt): Remove.
(handle_unique_object_name): Remove function.
(usage): Remove text for unique-object-names options.
(longopts): Remove unique-object-names options.
(main): Drop handling unique-object-names options.
doc:
* utils.xml (cygcheck): Remove text for unique-object-names options.
