+ Make `sysrc -x foo' produce error status if foo is unset.
NB: Reported by lme (everything else ``while I'm at it'')
+ Remove mention of SYSRC_VERBOSE from `sysrc --help' output.
NB: False documentation leftover from an ancient precursor.
+ Make `sysrc -qc foo' work the same as `sysrc -ic foo' when foo is unset
NB: For syntax convenience (my fingers know `-q' more than `-i').
+ Update description of `-c' flag in help message/manual.
+ Update description of `-q' flag in help message/manual.
+ Make `sysrc -vc foo' work as documented in the manual
NB: Show message stating whether foo is currently set.
+ Make `sysrc -vc foo=1' work as documented in the manual
NB: Show message stating how value of foo would be changed (if at all).
+ Remove odd usage of parentheses in `-R dir' section of manual.
+ Clarify syntax section of manual w/respect to sysctl(8) similarities.
+ Add new/missing people to the `THANKS TO' section of the manual.

(get command) or if the current value is the same as what is desired
(set command). In those cases, the return status is success.
Otherwise, if the variable is unset (get command) or set to a different
value that what is desired (set command), returns with error status.
This is useful for puppet integration as well as everyday scripting.
Do not inherit $SYSRC_VERBOSE from operating environment. The concern is
that when a user (such as myself) which has SYSRC_VERBOSE=1 in his/her
~/.bash_profile or such that when they are told to execute a command like:
hostname `sysrc -n hostname`
NOTE: To activate a recently configured hostname.
If $SYSRC_VERBOSE is set, then POLA is violated because the output of sysrc
is indirectly influenced (making for an inconsistent experience).
disconnected under the WITH_BSDCONFIG flag (a good idea since this version of
sysrc(8) indeed requires the `sysrc.subr' module installed by bsdconfig(8)).
Multiple reasons sysrc should not simply continue to live in ports. The most
important being that it is tightly coupled with the base.
