Support for fractional seconds has become much more widespread since

fbbd9655e5 Renumber copyright clause 4
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

c4d9468ea0 mdoc(7) police:
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

ac14c3115f Let sleep(1) handle fractions of a second (up to nanosecond).
This is a conservative change.  It does the same thing in weird
cases like the old one.  For example, 'sleep abcd' still sleeps
for zero seconds.  `sleep 10.a' and `sleep 10.05aa' do the best
and not abort (ie: 10.a == 10 seconds, 10.05a == 10.05 seconds).

2028697c9a There is no special handling for SIGALRM as
sleep(3) is implemented using nanosleep(2).

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.
