new dpv(3) wrapper to dialog(3) dialog_gauge(). The dpv(3) library provides
a more flexible and refined interface similar to dialog_mixedgauge() however
is implemented atop the more generalized dialog_gauge() for portability.
Noticeable improvements in bsdinstall's distextract will be a status line
showing data rate information (with support for localeconv(3) to format
numbers according to $LANG or $LC_ALL conversion information), i18n support,
improved auto-sizing of gauge widget, a ``wheel barrow'' to keep the user
informed that things are moving (even if status/progress has not changed),
improved color support (mini-progress bars use the same color, if enabled,
as the main gauge bar), and several other improvements (some not visible).
dpv stands for "dialog progress view" (dpv was introduced in SVN r274116).

Relnotes: Improved installer feedback from bsdinstall distextract
while here:
+ Fix an issue when extracting small archives where dialog_mixedgauge was
not rendering; leaving the user wondering if anything happened.
+ Add #ifdef's to assuage compilation against older libarchive
NB: Minimize diff between branches; make merging easier.
+ Add missing calls to end_dialog(3)
+ Change string processing from strtok(3) to strcspn(3) (O(1) optimization)
+ Use EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE instead of 0/1
+ Optimize getenv(3) use, using stored results instead of calling repeatedly
NB: Fixes copy/paste error wherein we display getenv(BSDINSTALL_DISTDIR) in
an error msgbox when chdir(2) to getenv(BSDINSTALL_CHROOT) fails
(wrong variable displayed in msgbox).
+ Use strtol(3) instead of [deprecated] atoi(3)
+ Add additional error checking (e.g., check return of archive_read_new(3))
+ Assign DECONST strings to static variables
+ Fix typo in distextract.c error message (s/Could could/Could not/)
+ Add comments and make a minor whitespace adjustment

Use adequately sized buffer for error(s) (512 -> PATH_MAX + 512).
Fix the following style(9) nits while here:
- distfetch.c uses PATH_MAX while distextract.c uses MAXPATHLEN;
standardize on one (PATH_MAX)
- Move $FreeBSD$ from comment to __FBSDID()
- Sort included headers (alphabetically, sys/* at top)
- Add missing header includes (e.g., <stdlib.h> for getenv(3),
calloc(3)/malloc(3)/free(3), and atoi(3); <string.h> for strdup(3),
strrchr(3), strsep(3), and strcmp(3); <ctype.h> for isspace(3); and
<unistd.h> for chdir(2), etc.)
- Remove rogue newline at end of distfetch.c
- Don't declare variables in if-, while-, or other statement
NB: To prevent masking of prior declarations atop function
- Perform stack alignment for variable declarations
- Add missing function prototype for count_files() in distextract.c
- Break out single-line multivariable-declarations
NB: Aligning similarly-named variables with one-char difference(s)
NB: Minimizes diffs and makes future diffs more clear
- Use err(3) family of functions (requires s/int err;/int retval;/g)

in the archive instead of spinning through it to get a file count for the
progress bar. This speeds up installation a lot on systems with slow
CD drives.
pc-sysinstall) a replacement for sysinstall in the 9.0 release and beyond.
Currently supported platforms are sparc64, pc98, i386, amd64, powerpc, and
powerpc64. Integration into the build system will occur in the coming
weeks.
Merging with pc-sysinstall will use this code as a frontend, while
temporarily retaining the interactive partition editor here. This work
will be done in parallel with improvements on this code and release
integration.
Thanks to all who have provided testing and comments!
