* Consistently misspell built-in as builtin.
* Add a builtin(1) manpage and create builtin(1) MLINKS for all shell
builtin commands for which no standalone utility exists. These MLINKS
replace those that were created for csh(1).
* Add appropriate xrefs for builtin(1) to the csh(1) and sh(1) manpages,
as well as to the manpages of standalone utilities which are supported
as shell builtin commands in at least one of the shells. In such
manpages, explain that similar functionality may be provided as a
shell builtin command.
* Improve sh(1)'s description of the cd builtin command. Csh(1) already
describes it adequately. Replace the cd(1) manpage with a builtin(1)
MLINKS link.
* Clean up some mdoc problems: use Xr instead of literal "foo(n)"; use
Ic instead of Xr for shell builtin commands.
* Undo English contractions.

Removed explicit dependencies of foo.o on foo.c. These were mainly
placeholders for comments about missing dependencies of tools objects
on headers. This problem needs to be handled more generally.
urgent need is when you run sh around a program that intentionally
uses SIGQUIT/SIGINT for asynchronous events, i.e. $EDITOR started from

bin/4241.
The solution committed has been tested for a large number of possible
cases (see recent discussion on cvs-committers). I completed a make
world, made sure 'make world' is interruptable and used the changed
/bin/sh as a login shell all day, including job control and using
SIGQUIT-catching programs (to write this message :-).

Specifically these changes include:
1) Implement 'trap -l' to get a list of valid signals names. This
is useful if you wanted to do something like reset all signal
handlers to there defaults values, in which case something like
this will do the trick.
trap `trap -l`
2) Reformat the output of 'trap' so it can be saved and later eval'd
to restore the saved settings.
3) Allow the use of signal names as well as signal numbers.
4) Fix trap handling of SIGCHLD so that commands like the following
(albeit, contrived) won't cause sh(1) to recurse ad infinitum.
trap uname 0 20
5) Make variables static that are used only in trap.c.
6) Minor 'style(9) police' mods.

changed the pwd builtin to use getcwd(3) as Joerg suggested.
getopts should now work as expected. This fix was in the NetBSD

version because of 'drain bamage' on my part.

When comparing my recent parser change against the ash in 1.1.5.1, i
found that a couple of other problems in the same area has been fixed
there, but not in 2.2. Semicolons and EOF do also delimit words...
The && and || tokens do also terminate a command, not only the
newline.
While i was at it, disabled trace code by default, it served no good
purpose since it required the use of a debugger anyway to be turned
on. Instead, placed a hint in the Makefile on how to turn it on.
This makes the shell ~ 10 % faster and ~ 4 KB smaller. :)
