The most notable new feature is support for processing multiple
files in one invocation. There is also support for more make-friendly
exit statuses.
The most notable bug fix is #line directives now include the input
file name.

Fix a long-standing cpp compatibility bug: The -DFOO argument
(without an explicit value) should define FOO to 1 not to the empty
string.
Add support for CRLF newlines, based on a suggestion from Mark Rushakoff.

file can safely be the same as the input file. Idea from IRIX unifdef(1).
This version fixes a bug in the NetBSD unifdef which refuses to
write to a -o outfile which does not exist.

Main highlights:
(A) The new -B option compresses blank lines around a deleted section
so that blank lines around "paragraphs" of code don't get doubled.
(B) Lenient evaluation of && and || so that #if expressions can be
evaluated even when some of their sub-expressions cannot be.
(C) The evaluator can now handle macros with arguments.
(D) Portability fixes, especially for unifdefall.

Allow the user to run unifdef without defining any symbols. This is
useful in conjunction with the -k flag.
Fix a bug in the -s handling code that would have caused out-of-bounds
array accesses.
Add a -n option to insert #line directives in the output.
Ignore comment markers inside string and character literals
(bug reported by Amos Shapira <amos.shapira@netregistry.com.au>).
More accurate copyright notices.
* Be less strict about multi-line preprocessor directives (e.g. those
with comments hanging off the right-hand end) since they're more
of a problem in practise than I expected. Prompted by phk.
* Fix the handling of "ignore" symbols.
* Style pedantry from OpenBSD and Ted Unangst <tedu@stanford.edu>,
including some whitespace fixes and removal of strcpy()
(and not including excessively strict KNF enforcement).
* Fix some typos and terminological inconsistencies.
* The partial-evaluation of #elif sequences was broken and the
spaghetti logic of its implementation was too hard to understand.
I've re-done it using a straight-forward table-driven push-down
automaton.
* The pre-processor line parser did not allow for all of the weird
places that people might put comments, which could have caused it
to add syntax-errors to the output by removing a #if line containing
the start- or end-marker of a comment.
* The lexer didn't need to special-case the handling of string-literals
or character-constants, but it did need to learn about line-continuations
(backslash-newline).
* The input routine was buggy and bit-rotten and trivially replacable
with fgets(). I've also made the program static- and const-safe and
improved the presentation-order. The formatting of the state-transition
tables remains non-stylish.

constant controlling expressions: in particular, removing #if 0 sections
is considered "rude". This commit changes the default so that such
things are passed through unchanged, and the old behaviour can be had
with the -k "kill konsts" flag.

* It now knows about the existence of #elif which would have
caused it to produce incorrect results in some situations.
* It can now process #if and #elif lines according to the
values of symbols that are specified on the command line.
The expression parser is only a simple subset of what C
allows but it should be sufficient for most real-world
code (it can cope with everything it finds in xterm).
* It has an option for printing all of the symbols that might
control #if processing. The unifdefall script uses this
option along with cpp -dM to strip all #ifs from a file.
* It has much larger static limits.
* It handles nested #ifs much more completely.
There have also been many style improvements: KNF; ANSI function
definitions; all global stuff moved to the top of the file; use
stdbool instead of h0h0bool; const-correctness; err(3) instead
of fprintf(stderr, ...); enum instead of #define; commentary.
I used NetBSD's unifdef as the basis of this since it has received
the most attention over the years.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;
.\" $Id$
.\"
If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.
