variable substitution in editfiles

[Bobby Billingsley]

Hi list :)

I'm having a spot of bother w. cfengine 2.0.7p3 on both tru64 and linux.

It seems that variable substitution isn't happening in Setline and 
AppendIfNoLineMatching strings.

I've got a configuration similar to the following example:

cfagent.conf:

    import:
        cf.mydefs
        cf.mysite

    control:
        actionsequence = ( editfiles )

cf.mydefs:

    somehost::
        NTPserver = ( 1.2.3.4 )

    otherhost::
        NTPserver = ( 2.3.4.5 )

cf.mysite:

    editfiles:
        { /etc/ntp.conf

        SetLine "server     ${NTPserver}    minpoll 4 maxpoll 7"
        AppendIfNoLineMatching "[^#]*server.*${NTPserver}.*"
        }

which results in /etc/ntp.conf growing with 1 line per invocation of cfagent.
The added line is the literal string from the SetLine buffer without
substitution. I've tried using ()'s instead of {}'s without any improvement.

As far as I can see from the documentation "Variable substitution is performed
on all strings", so either I'm doing something wrong or else there's a bug
somewhere?
