Check for gcmc executable was made only if 1 or more gcmc files specified
by ini items like [DISPLAY]NGCGUI_SUBFILE=cpocket.gcmc but was not
checked on use if there were no gcmc ini items
Thanks to forum user phillc54 for the bug report

using ps -C linuxcncsvr --noheader -o args
both pyngcgui and gremlin view can be started independently
of the process running linuxcnc so they ask the system for
the inifile

The options of pgrep (package procps) changed between:
lucid: procps 1:3.2.8-1ubunt
jessie: procps 2:3.3.9-9
pgrep -lf worked on lucid but not on jessie
pgrep -a worked on jessie but not on lucid
so try the form ps ax|grep ...

limit msg length for popups when errant input to gcmc compiler
typo on strip()
for detecting options comment, split on // not /
minor: ngcgui.txt update
new: involute-gear.gcmc adapted for ngcgui from B. Stultien's example
new: ensure_mode.gcmd include file to resolve potential conflict
with preamble and gcmc code (gcmc wins)
with updates:
1) popup msg error if entry box for gcmc not a number
2) allow comment after tag when tagging a gcmc option
3) handle gcmc_include_path for new custom tab additions
4) incorporate ensure_mode in .gcmc examples
5) update ngcgui.txt for ensure_mode
(squashed commits from test branch: dgarr/ngcgui-gcmc)
Add support for [py]ngcgui to read .gcmc input files for the gcmc
compiler and make tab pages with entry boxes for tagged variables.
A tabpage 'info' message and compiler options can be specified
by tags too.
Ref: gcmc (G-Code Meta Compiler) http://www.vagrearg.org/content/gcmc
Note: gcmc version 1.4.3 or later must be installed separately and
available in the user PATH
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Tag formats (simplified):
Variable:
//ngcgui: vname [= value , [comment text]]
Info message:
//ngcgui: info: text message
Option:
//ngcgui: -optioname [optionvalue]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
When a feature for a gcmc tab page is created, the variables
and options are passed to the compiler and a gcode subroutine
file is produced and placed at the head of the linuxcnc subroutine
search path. These files are purged at each ngcgui restart
that uses .gcmc files.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Example ini files for axis, touchy, and gscreen:
configs/sim/axis/ngcgui/ngcgui_gcmc.ini
configs/sim/axis/ngcgui/pyngcgui_gcmc.ini
configs/sim/touchy/ngcgui/pyngcgui_touchy_gcmc.ini
configs/sim/gscreen/ngcgui/pyngcgui_gscreen_gcmc.ini
Example gcmc files:
nc_files/gcmc_lib/drill.gcmc
nc_files/gcmc_lib/square.gcmc
nc_files/gcmc_lib/star.gcmc (Bertho Stultiens)
nc_files/gcmc_lib/wheels.gcmc (Alan Battersby)
use make to create simple standalone executable files for
ngcgui,pyngcgui,gremlin_view,tooledit
instead of copying files from source tree
to add this patch, you may need to rm existing files:
lib/python/gremlin_view.py
lib/python/pyngcgui.py
share/linuxcnc/gremlin_view.ui
