fix: /README.TXT: to synchronize a Mac's settings with my testing machine's: need to sync VirtualBox VMs with inplace=1 because they are very large files

web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks: Ubuntu 14.04 upgrade: rsync: documented that this breaks use of ~ to reference the remote user's home dir

/README.TXT: to back up the version history: back up first on the local machine, because often only the svnsync command gets run, and that way it will get backed up immediately to Dropbox (and hourly to Time Machine), while vegbiendev only gets backed up daily to tape

bugfix: /README.TXT: to back up the version history: use absolute path for vegbiendev commands because the Ubuntu 14.04 version of rsync doesn't expand ~ properly

/README.TXT: to back up the version history: use $HOME to make paths platform-independent

bugfix: stderr2stdout(): fd 2 must be redirected back to fd 2, not log-filtered, in case there are other errors in addition to the benign error. this fixes a bug in pg_schema_exists(), where errors about the DB being down were not displayed because they were log-filtered out.

bugfix: /Makefile: $(pg_ctl-Darwin): need to `cd /` because due to pg_ctl bug, current directory must be accessible by it

lib/runscripts/util.run: added $is_runscript, for use by $wrap_fn

bin/in_place: added $preserve_mtime flag

web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks: Ubuntu 14.04 upgrade: Apache: documented that MultiViews is actually only broken for redirects with the filename "index"
