4aeb63826e Check the entire length of the current argument for the EOF string with -E,
but don't expect a proper ASCII string to exist right here right now, don't
use strcmp(3) which checks for a NUL.  As we're still building the argument
up, the next character might be garbage.  It would probably be just as safe to
temporarily write a NUL there, but if we've reached the end of argument memory
that might not be the best idea, I think.  It's unclear.

Doing it this way seems to meet the most with the original intent.

46793db95b MFC 1.22: Fix -0 vs -L/-I processing, mainly so that 'xargs -0 -I []' will
do something sensible (namely: treat then '\0' as the EOL character, when
deciding what "a line" is for -N).  Note that  -I implies -N.

5578bd8c99 Modify behaviour of xargs -I in order to:
1. Conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2004, which state that "Constructed
arguments cannot grow larger than 255 bytes", and
2. Avoid a buffer overflow.

Unfortunately the standard doesn't indicate how xargs is supposed to
handle arguments which (with the appropriate substitutions) would grow
larger than 255 bytes; this solution handles those by making as many
substitutions as possible without overflowing the buffer.

OpenBSD's xargs resolves this in a different direction, by making
all the substitutions and then silently truncating the resulting string.

Since this change may break existing scripts which rely upon the buffer
overflow (255 bytes isn't really all that long...) it will not be MFCed.

0792992c73 - Use _PATH_TTY and _PATH_DEVNULL macros.
- Don't fail if we can't open /dev/null since this can happen if
  xargs is jail'ed or chroot'ed.

These fixes were submitted by Todd Miller from the OpenBSD project.
There was one problem in those fixes that broke -o, which is corrected
here and should be committed to the OpenBSD repo by Todd soon.

30aaff1192 Migrate to a new way of dealing with building from old revisions of
FreeBSD.  This method attempts to centralize all the necessary hacks
or work arounds in one of two places in the tree (src/Makefile.inc1
and src/tools/build).  We build a small compatibility library
(libbuild.a) as well as selectively installing necessary include
files.  We then include this directory when building host binaries.

This removes all the past release compatibilty hacks from various
places in the tree.  We still build on tip of stable and current.  I
will work with those that want to support more, although I anticipate
it will just work.

Many thanks to ru@, obrien@ and jhb@ for providing valuable input at
various stage of implementation, as well as for working together to
positively effect a change for the better.

98186e89da Add a new -o option to tell xargs(1) to reopen /dev/tty as stdin in
the child process, before executing the command.  This is very useful
when you do stuff like ``find ... | xargs interactive_application''.
Without -o, the application would inherit the pipe as its stdin, and
you thus lose any control over it.

This flag has been carefully chosen to not conflit with other options
of other xargs utilities like GNU xargs.

to count the amount of space it used, and treated it as if it were empty.
This problem was introduced in rev 1.15.

305e39f49b Modify the -p implementation to use a user's locale, so they can respond to
the prompt in their native language.

Also make the prompt fit what POSIX asks for (?...).

This should not affect use of -p with yes(1) [as every locale I know of matches
'y' as YESEXPR as well], but that's what -t is for anyway.  -p is meant to be
really used interactively.
