76810a9564 Make generated C files depend on this Makefile
The contents of lib.c, lib2.c, bc_help.c, and dc_help.c depends on the
parameters passed to strgen.sh in this Makefile. A change to the number
of parameters of strgen.sh has been applied to the invocation of this
command, but this did not cause a rebuild of the generated files.

f022d2cd17 Connect the tests provided with the new bc and dc
The tests compare the command output (including of error cases) with the
expected output and exit code.

Not all tests are executed, since some expect to have a known good bc and
dc binary installed and compare results of large amounts of generated data
being processed by both versions to test for regressions.

2ead2969a0 Upgrade to version 3.1.4
This version omits the printing of a copyright header in interactive mode
and the dc command now exits after execution of the commands passed via -e
or -f instead of switching to interactive mode. To pass further commands
via STDIN when dc has been invoked with -e or -f, add "-f -" to the
parameter list.

3aa99676b4 Update to version 3.1.1
This version fixes a regression with regard to tradtional behavior of the
non-standard FreeBSD option "-e". In the previous version "-e quit" caused
bc to exit before any computations had been performed, since all -e option
parameters were concatenated and parsed as a whole, with quit causing the
program to exit as soon as it was parsed. This version parses and executes
commands passed with -e one by one and only exits after all prior commands
have been executed.

This commit is not a SVN merge, since the vendor import had been performed
after the import to contrib. Instead the contents of contrib/bc has been
removed and the new version is copied over unchanged from vendor/bc/dist.

252884ae7e Import new 2-clause BSD licenced implementation of the bc and dc commands
These implementations of the bc and dc programs offer a number of advantages
compared to the current implementations in the FreeBSD base system:

- They do not depend on external large number functions (i.e. no dependency
  on OpenSSL or any other large number library)

- They implements all features found in GNU bc/dc (with the exception of
  the forking of sub-processes, which the author of this version considers
  as a security issue).

- They are significantly faster than the current code in base (more than
  2 orders of magnitude in some of my tests, e.g. for 12345^100000).

- They should be fully compatible with all features and the behavior of the
  current implementations in FreeBSD (not formally verified).

- They support POSIX message catalogs and come with localized messages in
  Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Japanese, Polish, Portugueze,
  and Russian.

- They offer very detailed man-pages that provide far more information than
  the current ones.

The upstream sources contain a large number of tests, which are not
imported with this commit. They could be integrated into our test
framework at a latter time.

Installation of this version is controlled by the option "MK_GH_BC=yes".
This option will be set to yes by default in 13-CURRENT, but will be off
by default in 12-STABLE.
