Bugfix in redirection in functions, moved ldap-stuff to ldap-functions

(at the moment not ash compatible), added special mkdxsinitrd.64bit
(hack for clean 64bit environment), put hint to runvmware (special
vmem file generated in tmpDirectory (of preferences), special check for
lib64 for Xorg in hwautocfg ...
