barnboy%trilobyte.net 51a7de4d46 Updated Bugzilla Guide and README to fix bug 76156, bug 76841, and bug 26242.
The README is now gutted, pointers to Guide.  Also some new sections added,
old ones fixed, and notes appended to deprecated sections I've not yet had
the heart to remove.

> The query.conf file contains the mapping from options to field
names and comparison types. Quoted option names are "grepped" for, so
it should be easy to edit this file. Comments (#) have no effect; you

> buglist is a shell script which submits a Bugzilla query and writes the
resulting HTML page to stdout. It supports both short options,
(such as "-Afoo" or "-Rbar") and long options (such as
"--assignedto=foo" or "--reporter=bar"). If the first character
of an option is not "-", it is treated as if it were prefixed
with "--default=".

This is equivalent to the "Change Columns" option when you list
bugs in buglist.cgi. If you have already used Bugzilla, use
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>grep COLUMLIST ~/.netscape/cookies</B
> to see
your current COLUMNLIST setting.
</P
><P
> bugs is a simple shell script which calls buglist and extracts
the bug numbers from the output. Adding the prefix
"http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id="
turns the bug list into a working link if any bugs are found.
Counting bugs is easy. Pipe the results through
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>sed -e 's/,/ /g' | wc | awk '{printf $2 "\n"}'</B
