vinum_init(): Change name of variable plexindex to objindex, which
better describes its purpose.
initsd(): Add a second parameter to determine whether it should wait
for completion or not. This allows it to DTRT when called
with the -w flag either directly or via initplex().
Add 'setstate' command (function vinum_setstate ()) to implement the
VINUM_SETSTATE_FORCE ioctl for diddling individual object states.
This is a repair tool which can also be used for panicing the system.
Use with utmost care if at all.
Add unimplemented commands 'checkparity' and 'rebuildparity'. Watch
this space.
Add function definition for readpol command.
Rewrite make_devices with a view to incremental making. In the
process, effectively kill off plex-bound subdisk device numbers.
Add Cybernet copyright.

Update information about partition type for Vinum drives. They
*should* be of type 'vinum', but currently we still accept (and
complain about) partitions of type 'unused'. At a later date, only
'vinum' will be accepted.

the wrong module can cause confusion, including loading both versions
(which conflict with each other) and incorrect ioctls, which cause
unintelligible error messages.
Extend 'start' command: if used without any parameters, vinum scans
all disks known to devstat for vinum drives and reads their
configuration.

unused static inlines in headers without -O.
Fixed missing libraries in DPADD.
Use .PATH instead of a symlink farm.
Removed bogus dependency of util.c on statetext.h (only util.o depends
on it). Removed rule for building statetext.h. The dependency was used
to get statetext.h built, but statetext.h is a non-generated source file
so it doesn't need building. This fixes an annoying message for the null
build and use of `make' instead of ${MAKE} to do the null build.
Fixed some style bugs.
