can't check to see if sysinstall is running as init just by checking if the
PID is 0. Introduce a new option that sets the RunningAsInit flag, and update
the code to check RunningAsInit intstead of getpid().

too small for today's standards. While loading packages sysinstall
blows past this by a LOT but I think (hope...) that's caused by other
bugs. I'll look more into why sysinstall's memory use has gotten so
out of control as it loads packages but independent of that there really
is no reason to leave the limits on datasize and stacksize in place. And
they can cause problems for some of the things "modern packages" might
be doing via pkg_add which gets run by sysinstall and would inherit the
limits.
Another insta-MFC probably coming, this is holding up 6.3-RC2. Sysinstall's
memory use is so out of control it blows past the current limit before it
finishes loading either of the meta-packages kde or gnome...
setenv(3) by tracking the size of the memory allocated instead of using
strlen() on the current value.
Convert all calls to POSIX from historic BSD API:
- unsetenv returns an int.
- putenv takes a char * instead of const char *.
- putenv no longer makes a copy of the input string.
- errno is set appropriately for POSIX. Exceptions involve bad environ
variable and internal initialization code. These both set errno to
EFAULT.
Several patches to base utilities to handle the POSIX changes from
Andrey Chernov's previous commit. A few I re-wrote to use setenv()
instead of putenv().
New regression module for tools/regression/environ to test these
functions. It also can be used to test the performance.
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 700050 due to API change.

Not because I admit they are technically wrong and not because of bug
reports (I receive nothing). But because I surprisingly meets so
strong opposition and resistance so lost any desire to continue that.
Anyone who interested in POSIX can dig out what changes and how
through cvs diffs.
see which release you are installing (really which FreeBSD version the
installer is running, but that shouldn't matter in all normal cases).

- If we are running as init, popup the country menu before the main menu.
If a non-default country is chosen, then a second menu is brought up
to let the user choose a keymap. By default the default keymap for
the country that was selected is highlighted. If the user chooses the
default country, then the default keymap is just assumed and the user
is not presented with the keymap menu. Currently the default country
is set to "United States" except for PC98 which assumes "Japan".

* Treate sparc64 and ia64 as 64-bit platforms, which means larger roots.
* sparc64 should halt back to the firmware, not reset.

survive a sysinstall Ctrl-C -> 'Restart'. This fixes another annoying
bug where restarting sysinstall will try to reload kernel modules and
do other external things that have already been done. For now, use
these persistent variables to keep track of module, usbd, and pccardd

annoying as a result of this change, though that's just my opinion
(since they're the defaults which annoy ME the least :).

o Fix some messages for PC-98

Also, since usbd already handles USB mice automatically, note that the
mouse setup section in sysinstall only applies to non-USB mice.
Now we know which variables are internal and which need to be
backed to /etc/rc.conf.site. rc.conf is not touched now.
Also kget kernel change information back properly and set up a loader.rc
file to use it.

100%, but it pulls in a lot more than it used to. Some of the "composite"

o Always write /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts if it makes sense to do
so.
o Reset media properly when reselecting. Longstanding bogon.
o Pull SIGPIPE handling out of package.c; I'm actually hoping to handle
this differently shortly.
o Fix bug where cancel in TCP setup dialog still checked data fields.
I think this closes a PR, but I will have to go look.
