PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN THIS PATCH

The following is a cumulative list of fixes included in this patch since the
5.1 GA product release:

RELEASE 5.1.1 on 10/25/2004

######## NEW FEATURES ########
* sie/cli
	Change "--expiretime" to be "--cacheexpire" and keep
	"--expiretime" as deprecated option.
* sie/cli
	Add new "--nodemo" license to disable the use of any normally used
	demo licenses.

######## BUG FIXES ########
* build
	Fix build/configvaredit to work with older versions of perl(1).
* build
	Fix syntax errors in configure when run in non-MagniComp
	environments.
* doc/RefMan
	Update mcsysinfocli manual to refer to "sysinfo --list class" for
	parameters to "--class".
* gui/class/storsys
	Fix StorSys general system Properties to properly display values.
* gui
	Fix GUI to actually display StorVol data.  It previously was
	missing that functionality.
* install/setup
	Fix "deterine" typo in setup error messages.
* install/setup
	Determine AppArch with builtin rule for HPUX IA64.
* setup
	Need to properly edit @ProdVersion@ during setup install in order
	to use proper /tmp cache directory and others.
* sie/class/general
	Fix "Number of (Physical) CPUs" to acurately report on X86 systems
	with hyperthreading CPUs.
* sie/core
	Avoid scanning for drivers when not necessary in order to improve
	performance.  Previously we always scanned for drivers even if the
	requested class had no drivers.
* sie/drivers
	Fix Driver search path to only have one dir to search.	This
	avoids duplicate calls when discovering drivers.
* sie/mcl
	Fix bug in licensing resulting in bad data being used when
	multiple valid licenses were found.
* sie
	Fix debug message "Executing" to be "Running" in shlib in order to
	make debugging more consistant.
* srcdist
	Include mcsysinfod/StartupParameters.plist in source
	distributions.
* ui/gui
	Insure that the product version gets passed down into the UI Cache
	functions for use in the cache pathname. Previously it was not,
	although the CLI worked fine.
