Xdialog GUI for shell scripts updated

EasyOS is using a very old version of Xdialog, 2.3.1, compiled in OpenEmbedded Scarthgap. There are a couple of git sites that continue to maintain Xdialog:

https://github.com/wdlkmpx/Xdialog

https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/Xdialog

...I downloaded the latest code from the latter, and named it version 2.3.5.1. Compiled like this:

# export CFLAGS='-Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types'
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --with-gtk2
# make
# DESTDIR='/mnt/sda2/downloads/downloads3/input694/0-xdialog/out1' make install

Have created a package, 'xdialog-2.3.5.1-excalibur.pet', that will be in the next release of Easy.
