original hardware list was mostly organized by driver except for the
case of NICs by Intel, DEC, and 3Com, whose NICs tended to be
organized by manufacturer. Most of these entries are now organized by
driver, except for a few 3Com NICs; also the multitude of ed(4)
drivers needs to be coalesced.
While I'm here, fix a markup glitch in the ISDN section that caused
any non-i386 hardware list to be incorrectly numbered.

New release notes: USER_LDT on by default (this entry is way overdue).
Add Abocom URE 450 to supported USB Ethernet devices.
version control information that is different from the rest of their
containing document (or at least other sections). For release notes
only, allow output of <sect1info><pubdate></pubdate></sect1info>
text, and add it to three sections of RELNOTESng where it's kind of
important ("What's New" in the release notes, "Supported Device" in
the arch-independent hardware list, and the processors section of the
alpha hardware list).
1. Everywhere I could figure out what driver supported a device or
class of device, there is now a cross-reference via a &man entity.
For cases where a driver has no manpage (and hence no &man entity),
we now at least give the name of the driver. For the most part,
this was done by examining driver manpages.
2. A number of devices which are i386-only are now marked as such,
determined by noting manpages or kernel source files in
architecture-specific directories.
3. Added hardware supported by the vpo(4), wl(4), awi(4), and bktr(4)
drivers, based on a read of the manpages.
The manpages and source files in question were taken from 4-STABLE,
(which is what was running on my off-net laptop at the time)
but at this level of detail, I don't expect there to be any appreciable
differences between 4-STABLE and 5-CURRENT.
freed by softupdates, ifconfig(8) accepts CIDR notation, rc(8) clean-out
of /var/run and /var/spool/lock, c89(1) is now a binary, pax(1)
enhancements and cpio(1)/tar(1) compatability, Ukranian language console
support.
Other: Update/make (more) consistent the list of WaveLAN devices
supported.
MFCs noted: ln(1) -h/-n, find(1) timestamp flags.
sk(4)) were reversed.
While I'm here, update list of cards supported by sk(4) to be consistent
with the manpage.
