Norman Feske 8c3f832f09 Noux: quote env values, fix #66
When reading the values of environment variables supplied via Genode
config mechanism, the XML attribute values were taken as is. On the libc
side, however, the values are processed using Genode's 'Arg_string'
functions. When unquoted, 'Arg_string' expects values to be either
identifiers or numbers. In the general case, however, env values cannot
be expected to satisfy these requirements. Hence, it is better to always
quote these values when reading the XML config. An alternative (maybe
better) solution would be to not use the 'Arg_string' classes in the
libc side.

This directory contains ports of popular 3rd-party applications to Genode.

The 'ports' repository follows the line of the 'libports' repository.
For instructions about downloading and building 3rd-party applications,

Dependencies from other repositories
------------------------------------

Application provided by the 'ports' repository typically expect a rich
runtime environment, including shared libraries provided by the 'libports'
repository. Hence, 'ports' depends on 'libports'. Furthermore, applications
may  additional repositories. For example, the Arora web browser depends
on the 'qt4' repository.
