[svn-r12358] Purpose:
Bug fix. Description: The ${TR}, though avoid the error, is inconvenient. It is needed because configure.in use the char range in the style of 'a-z'. The other style of '[a-z]' is more commonly accepted by all tr but autoconf tends to strip away [], making the syntax rather clumsy. Solution: Learned from autoconf that it avoids the use of character range by just spell all the letters out. Changed our tr commands to use those variables defined by autoconf. Also removed the definition of ${TR} since it will cause inconsistancy when autoconf also use plain 'tr' in its generated code. The Makefile.in are changed because the elimination of ${TR} from configure triggered its removal from all Makefil.in. That is okay because ${TR} is not used at all in Makefile. Platforms tested: h5committested. (sol failed to connected). also tested in shanti using both /usr/ucb/tr and /bin/tr (the bad one before.) Misc. update: Updated both INSTALL and RELEASE files.
