Give subprocess creation a way to find a valid current directory for subprocesses when the buffer's default-directory is a handled name. * fileio.c (Funhandled_file_name_directory): New function. (Qunhandled_file_name_directory): New file-name-handler operation. (syms_of_fileio): Defsubr Sunhandled_file_name_directory, and initialize and staticpro Qunhandled_file_name_directory. * callproc.c (Fcall_process): Call Funhandled_file_name_directory on the buffer's default directory. Do it earlier in the function so there's less to GCPRO. * process.c (create_process): Don't check the validity of the buffer's default directory here... (Fstart_process): Instead, do it here; if we call Funhandled_file_name_directory here, there's less GCPROing to do. * callproc.c (Fcall_process_region): Return the value returned by Fcall_process.

This directory contains the architecture-independent files used by or
with Emacs.  This includes some text files of documentation for GNU
Emacs or of interest to Emacs users, and the file of dumped docstrings
for Emacs functions and variables.

`termcap.dat' is for VMS.  It is a copy of the `/etc/termcap' file
used on Unix.
