Item5994: Secure configure script with taint mode turned on

And while we're at it, remove the files from the logos dir and replace them with inline css images.

Is anyone doing this within the next few days for 4.2.4 or is this a 5.0 release blocker. I agree that at least for 5.0 this should be done. But better if we can do it for 4.2.4.

I'll see what I can do...

Sorry, didn't had much time lately, and had troubles with my development installation. So I guess for 4.2.4 it's too late, but I'll try and do it anyway.

I enabled taint mode and fixed the (minor, safe) problems it showed up. Note that I was forced to default $ENV{PATH} to the value of same when configure is first run. However I think the risk of this causing problems is extremely small.

This was marked as an urgent bug for 4.2.4. But the fix was only checked into trunk - ie 5.0

It that a mistake or ??

Oh, forgot I was supposed to merge. Don't have a 4.2.4 checkout here, will get to it eventually.

Done.

Reverted the merge, cos I merged to the tag instead of the branch. D'oh!

Finally got it right
