Jordan, I'll let you merge this into 2.2o that I don't
stomp on you.

18e5f50832 Documentation update. 
Remove a duplicate entry for ahc0 in hardware.hlp (closes PR #
docs/2282), a few additions all over the place while i was at it.

Tried to add as much of the important highlights for the new features
in 2.2 into the release notes.  I still think that many things are
missing here, so folks, if you imported something great that's in 2.2
but not in 2.1.X, please review this section and send us your
additions!

Submitted by:	seki@sysrap.cs.fujitsu.co.jp (for the ahc0 dup)

c352737c78 To use the dosio library fully, I also (duh!) have to retain full 
use of stdio, I can't just go handing fileno(fp) around and expect
that to work.  Since this means I need to have sysinstall play pipeline
on single file distributions now, that means I can also finally add a
progress indicator for them.

Change installation instructions to note that there's no dists directory
anymore on CDROMs.

d17f0c47d4 Fix some very minor cosmetic cruft I couldn't help tweaking when 
I went over the code.

Add shortcuts for addUser and addGroup, documenting same.

Add a password field for adduser and use no-echo string field for it.
This requires my latest libdialog changes (in RELENG_2_2 or -current) to work.

c381383f32 Update to benefit from David's recent changes to pw(8). The most 
obvious effects are that most of the automagically chosen defaults
will now be displayed while going through the menu, and an improved
error handling thanks to the more detailed error status reporting.

2.2 fodder, but i'll leave it to Jordan's review.

325403f959 Add Joerg's user management screen for David Nugent's pw(8) program, something 
which will also need to be brought in before this screen will work.

Add some commentary about how the slip startup code is bogus.

Steal Joerg's loop for more properly closing all files and graft it into
the EHS startup.  My loop was functional but more bogus.

e68b53ea5f It took a non-native speaker of English to show me that I couldn't 
speak english.  In this doc I say that "2.0.5 fills a much needed
gap between 2.0R and 2.1."  No wonder the translators were confused!
I'm trying to say that we _wanted_ a gap between 2.0.5 and 2.1?  That
such gaps are much needed?  Wurgh!  Not what I was trying to say at
all!  It should have (and now does) read: "2.0.5 fills a critical
gap between 2.0R and 2.1."  Critical gap, not much needed. :-)

well if you tried to translate my original botch!  Send me diffs
