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

out the parse loop to a seperate function, and move local variables around as
is needed. To keep the state of some variables and keep from having huge arg
lists to functions, make a bunch global.
Change use of err(3) in situations where malloc(3) will be setting errno to
errx(3) since assuming malloc(3) sets errno is non-portable, and provides no
more useful information in the context of FreeBSD.

one from zero and seeing if it was greater than the size_t (unsigned) var

only match, which is not the right behaviour if we have 0 length inpline.

Merge xargs(1) with that of xMach.
Bring in xargs(1) changes to add -L and -I as per the Single Unix Specification
version 3. Proper exit status numbers are implemented, and the manual page has
been updated to reflect reality.
The code has been ANSIfied, and a new file has been added to xargs(1) to do the
substring substitution as SUSv3 requires.
Traditional behaviour should not be affected, use of -J should be deprecated
in favor of the more portable -I (though -J has been left, for now).
