o Added the -H and -P options for treatment of symbolic links.
o Removed the #ifdef BSD4_4_LITE, since it does not seem to do anything
useful
o Fixed up prn_octal() so its output looks more like that of AT&T Unices
when -b is given.
The next two lines apply only to the first two changes above:

o Added a new '-b' which behaves as in AT&T Unices (show unprintables in
octal, using C escape codes when possible)
o Added '?' to the getopt() string, since the code in the switch considers
it as a valid option.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
