./configure'd universal-ctags name not being used to tag source

[Panariti, David]

Same goes for exuberant-ctags.

 

In the non-Windwoes version of start_ctags(), argv[0] is never changed from the default of “ctags”.

This works just fine if you’ve installed uctags as ctags.

 

Here’s a quick patch. I did it the easiest way.  Since ctagscom is global, I didn’t bother saving and restoring the original value, but that may be the better way to do it.

Here’s the patch (and attached). Apologies if it’s not formatted correctly, I don’t have the opportunity to submit patches very often.

    changes and enhancements to GLOBAL (herein called

    the "Program").

 

    I affirm that I have no other intellectual property interest that

    would undermine this release, or the use of the Program, and will

    do nothing to undermine it in the future.  I represent that the

    changes and enhancements are my own and not a copy of someone

    else's work.
