The first variable can be unkeyed and the provider will sub in the
variable name 'name'. Additionally, the built-in templates and
documentation have been updated so that 'appid' is now 'name' and the
alternative commands are shown.

This totally breaks compatibility with rebar2, and maybe it shouldn't
have.

When a node is configured with -sname the REMSH_NAME_PART argument should be defined with using command 'hostname' but error occurs due extra space

Always-on recursive application of all rebar commands causes too many
issues. Recursive application is required for:
1. dealing with dependencies: get-deps, update-deps, and compile of deps
   right after get-deps or update-deps
2. projects with a riak-like apps/ project structure and dev process

The vast majority of projects are not structured like riak. Therefore,
moving forward it's best to (by default) restrict recursive behavior to
dealing with deps. This commit does that and also adds command line and
rebar.config options for controlling or configuring recursion. Also, we
introduce two meta commands: prepare-deps (equivalent to rebar -r
get-deps compile) and refresh-deps (equivalent to rebar -r update-deps
compile). riak-like projects can extend the list of recursive commands
(to include 'eunit' and 'compile') by adding
{recursive_cmds, [eunit, compile]} to rebar.config.

RUNNER_SCRIPT variable is not initialized in simplenode.runner and it's
referenced when calling sudo.

To avoid problems with REMSH node being visible from another nodes
starts it in hidden mode (erl -hidden).

When a node is configured with -sname in app.config or sys.config the
REMSH_NAME_ARG and REMSH_REMSH_ARG arguments are incorrect due the
assumption that the node name always contains '@'.

To fix the bug, the script tries to find '@' and then compose the
arguments acording to node name type. If in long name mode the
script can't compose a correct node name exits with warning.

It is a portable version of the realpath(1) utility that you can find on
Mac OS X and FreeBSD (see also The Open Group Base Specifications Issue
6, IEEE Std 1003.1).

Without the -P flag, pwd(1) might return different values when the
current path contains one or more symlinks, depending on how you got
into the current directory.

In simplenode.runner, this may cause PIPE_DIR to have different values
on each use, which will make it impossible to connect to the running
node unless you guess the correct path yourself.

This removes the dependency on lib/compiler in an OTP release.

As discussed here
http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2012-December/071135.html
change the reltool spec to use the default sys-level mod_cond setting.

When developing Riak, we have found bugs and other issues due
to the number of platforms we support.

Here is an overview of the changes:
  -  Fix command-line syntax for commands to work on *BSD / Sun
  -  Add chkconfig and getpid to nodetool
  -  Replace platform specific 'kill' commands with a nodetool
	getpid method
  -  Fix RUNNER_USER settings to work on *BSD

- add overlay_vars=, target_dir=, and tests= with short description

- add missing short and long options
- add tests=, target_dir=, overlay_vars=

- Add 'escriptize' command
- Remove variable 'dump_spec'

For enable to shell-completion in zsh.

This allows the node to run in paths which include special characters,
for example 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Product Name'

This patch contains two additions to simplenode.runner:

1. Check if vm.args exists in CWD; if so, use it. This makes it
   easier to start multiple concurrent nodes on a single machine
   from one rebar-created release (starting each node from its
   own directory, with its own copy of vm.args and e.g.
   sys.config, log directory, database directory, etc.)

2. Add the targets start_boot <file> and console_boot <file>.
   This is used to select a different boot script. The 'setup'
   application (http://github.com/esl/setup) builds a special boot
   script for installation (all apps loaded but not started,
   making it possible to run install hooks with the full code path
   in place).
