e2a3608153 Add delete-old and delete-old-libs targets:
- removes obsolete files/dirs or libraries.
  - works in interactive (default) and batch mode
  - respects DISTDIR
  - documented in UPDATING and build(7)

The head of the file ObsoleteFiles.inc contains instructions how to add
obsolete files/dirs/libs to the list. Obviously one should add obsolete
files to this list, when he removes a file/dir/lib from the basesystem.

Additionally add check-old target:
  - allows re@ to check if a file on the obsolete list resurfaces

Design goals:
  - allows full control by the user (default interactive mode)
  - possibility of scripted removal of obsolete files (batch mode)
  - opt-in removal of files (explicit list of files)
  - seperate removal of libs (2 delete targets)

Important design decissions:
  - structured list of files to remove instead of a plain text file:
    * allows to remove additional files if a NO_foo knob is specified
      without the need to change the targets (no NO_foo knob is respected
      yet)
  - not using mtree like NetBSD does:
    * mtree doesn't has an interactive mode

7657f59596 - Remove the pccard_ifconfig variable in favor of a new
ifconfig_DEFAULT variable.  Unlike pccard_ifconfig, ifconfig_DEFAULT
   applies to all interfaces that do not specify an ifconfig_<ifn>
   variable rather than just those listed in removable_interfaces.
 - Correct the list of interfaces when network_interfaces and
   removable_interfaces are both set by including removable_interfaces
   in the list of canidates.
 - When listing dhcp interfaces, include those with other ifconfig
   options so nat works.

a8e72fd37a cleanup a danging reference to cleaning up /etc/fstab. Since we don't
support 4->6 upgrades, this is moot.  Most 4.x installations even,
have things compatible with 5 at thsi point, but some don't, so I'll
leave it in the branch...

bc9d299133 Change the definition of struct if_data's member ifi_epoch from wall
clock time to uptime because wall clock time may go backwards.

This is a change in the API which will impact SNMP agents who are using
ifi_epoch to set RFC2233's ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.  None are know to
exist today.  This will not impact applications that are using the
<index, epoch> tuple to verify interface uniqueness except that it
eliminates a race which could lead to a false assumption of uniqueness.

Because this is a behavior change, bump __FreeBSD_version.

90dc539be0 Welcome to the 21st century: increase MAXSHELLCMDLEN from 128 bytes to
PAGE_SIZE.

Unlike originator of the PR suggests retain MAXSHELLCMDLEN definition
(he has been proposing to replace it with PAGE_SIZE everywhere), not only
this reduced the diff significantly, but prevents code obfuscation and also
allows to increase/decrease this parameter easily if needed.

People wishing to see prior changes are encouraged to look at the
UPDATING file on the RELENG_5 branch.  Document when RELENG_5 was
branched, as well as the 5.3 release date, as shown in the CVS logs
for newvers.sh.

This change should not be MFC'd.

c94c54e4df Remove RFC1644 T/TCP support from the TCP side of the network stack.
A complete rationale and discussion is given in this message
and the resulting discussion:

 http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?4177C8AD.6060706

Note that this commit removes only the functional part of T/TCP
from the tcp_* related functions in the kernel.  Other features
introduced with RFC1644 are left intact (socket layer changes,
sendmsg(2) on connection oriented protocols)  and are meant to
be reused by a simpler and less intrusive reimplemention of the
previous T/TCP functionality.
