[logon] testing the forthcoming HandOn release

[Dan Flickinger]

Hi Berthold -

The file $(LOGONROOT)/lingo/erg/lkb/script still has an out-dated check for the LKB version, which makes reference to the CVS versioning system.  For now, just comment out those first two lines in the file, and you'll find that the grammar will load okay.

Dear all, 

the following test does not seem to work in the current SVN runtime
(Linux x86_64). Thus loading of ERG fails.

`/home/crysmann/logon.svn/lingo/lkb/linux.x86.64/logon.dxl'
  with arguments `(-L /home/crysmann/logon.svn/dot.clinit.cl -locale
no_NO.UTF-8)'
  in directory `nil'
  on machine `localhost'.
