8d904f1537 Add a -J replstr option that allows the user to tell xargs to insert
the data read from standard input at a specific point in the command
line arguments rather than at the end.

c42584e853 o The -s limit is ARG_MAX - 4K, not ARG_MAX - 2K.
o Mention that the current environment is part of the -s calculation.
o Add a BUGS section that warns against executing a program that increases
  the size of the argument list or the size of the environment.

  I have wondered for a while what the difference is between

    get a big list | xargs sudo command

  which fails and

    get a big list | sudo xargs command

  which succeeds.  The answer is that in the first case, sudo expands
  the environment and pushes the amount of data passed into execve over
  the E2BIG threshold.

3be5f1f5ce Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

     .\"    $Id$
     .\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

ef9866be68 xargs was spliting the input in a very different way from everyone else,
and was also a bit inconsistent: leading blanks, or any double blanks
generated empty arguments, but a trailing blank did not.

1fd98d7d88 Calls one or more of malloc(), warn(), err(), syslog(), execlp() or
execvp() in the child branch of a vfork(). Changed to use fork()
instead.

Some of these (mv, find, apply, xargs) might benefit greatly from
being rewritten to use vfork() properly.

a3e5bc4fb5 Remove compile time dependency on ARG_MAX.
This fix only removes the dependency on compile time constants.  The code
has other (old) problems that need to be addressed.
