USERLAND CHANGES:
The default binary type (and compiler toolchain) has been
switched from a.out to ELF. This gives us access to much
newer compiler technology (much of which didn't support a.out),
allows for smaller executables and provides much better
support for languages like C++, among many other advantages.
Older a.out libraries and binaries will, of course, continue to work
and provisions have been made for having both varieties installed if
and as necessary for transitional purposes.
Perl4 has now been replaced by Perl5 as a standard part of the
system.
The default username length has increased to 16 characters.
Caution: Old utmp/wtmp files will NOT work with this change since
the data records will be of the old size. For a conversion utility
