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.

01f8d17065 Bring forward doc changes from 2.2. Much will need changing for 3.0,
which is where this is headed, but it's better than the 2.2-SNAP
