Subject: Fix bugs in KIDS compare utility

Category: 
  - Routine

Description:
============

   This patch corrects the following problems in KIDS:
  1. Remedy ticket 415939 found that the KIDS compare utility doesn't display
    the correct Item multiple under a Protocol.  The Item multiple is a
    pointer to Protocols that weren't being sent.
  2. Remedy ticket 459074 discovered a bug, infinite loop, when the KIDS
    compare utility compares names over 30 characters and the cross
    reference only supports 30 characters.
  3. Remedy ticket 449218 discovered an undefined error when the KIDS compare
    utility tries to compare in coming data that is a pointer to a pointer
    file.  The compare only expects 1 level of pointer.
  4. Two new KIDS variables will be available for developers during the Pre
    and Post install routines:
       a. XPDNM("TST") = test number of install or null
       b. XPDNM("SEQ") = sequence number of install or null
  5. A developer requested a new parameter to the API LAST^XPDUTL. The call
    will now look like: $$LAST^XPDUTL(package,version,released).  Where
    "released" is a flag; 1=only returned the last released patch.
