o Introduce utf16_to_utf8().
o Add option -l to the show command to display the GPT label instead
of the friendly partition type.
o Add option -u to the show command to suppress the friendly output
and print th raw UUIDs instead.
starts at 1. No index is represented by 0.
o Change the show command to display the partition number at the expense
of the partition end columm. We already display the start and size.
o Enhance the add command to accept the -i option. The -i option allows
the user to specify which partition number the new partition should
get.
o Update the manpage accordingly.
While here:
o Make the UUIDs static to avoid runtime initialization,
o Rename ext to mslinux,
o Replace the use of memcmp() with uuid_equal(),
o Various style(9) improvements,
o Order the comparisons based on importance,
o Remove the word partition from all the descriptions,
o Other description improvements.

a PMBR. Make sure the create command creates a PMBR as well
(if not already present).
o When parsing the MBR, explicitly check for a PMBR and create
a PMBR map node if one is found.
o When parsing the MBR, recurse to handle extended partitions.
This allows us to flatten nested MBRs when migrating to a
GPT.
o Have the migrate command bail out if it encounters a partition
it doesn't know how to migrate. This avoids data loss.
o Change the output of the show command so that the UUIDs of the
GPT partitions fit on the same line.
o Show when partitions are extended partitions and add the PMBR
type.

<sys/gpt.h>. This avoids having to include both <sys/uuid.h> and
<uuid.h>, which is considered by your friendly committer to be
aestheticly displeasing (= ballyhoo barf barf :-)
o Use DCE compliant UUID functions and provide local
implementations if they don't exist,
o Move dumping of the map to show.c and print the
partition type,
o Some cleanups and rearrangements.
The default GPT partition type is UFS. When no starting block
or size are specified, the tool will create a partition in the
first free space it find (or that fits, depending on the size).
but is useful to have handy. EFI GPT partitions are used instead of the
fdisk+disklabel combination. They are pure 64 bit LBA, are fully
extensible, support up to 16383 partitons per disk, etc.
