{
{    The purpose of this procedure is to process the requests specified in the
{ work_list against the path described in the evaluated_file_reference and
{ return a "handle" to the resulting path.

{
{ PROCESS_PT_WORK_LIST: (input) This parameter specifies how the path is to be
{       resolved, and what other actions must be taken.  The items in the work
{       list and what they indicate are as follows:
{         bac$create_cycle_description:  Create a cycle description for the
{                                        given path if it does not exist.
{         bac$externalize_path_handle:  Mark entry as externalize.
{                                       (ie. Do not delete the entry.)
{         bac$inhibit_locking_pt:  Do not lock the path table.
{         bac$leave_aliases_unresolved:  Do not resolve the path if it is an
{                                        alias.
{         bac$record_path:  Record the path if it does not exist.
{         bac$resolve_path:  Resolve the path.
{         bac$resolve_pf_in_pt:  Resolve a permanent file using the path table.
{         bac$resolve_to_catalog:  Resolve a permanent file in the catalog.
{         bac$return_path_if_alias:  Return the full permanent file path if
{                                    the alias is passed in.
{         bac$return_cycle_description:  Return the cycle_description for a
{                                        resolved path.
{
{ LOCAL_FILE_NAME: (input) This parameter specifies a local_file_name to be
{       associated with the path.
{
{ EVALUATED_FILE_REFERENCE: (input/output) This parameter describes the path
{       to be processed.
{
{ PROCESS_PT_RESULTS: (output) This parameter specifies the results of this
{       request.  The following are the possible results:
{         bac$cycle_description_exists
{         bac$cycle_description_created
{
{ STATUS: (output) This parameter specifies the request status.
