-----------------------------
Most of the userland changes are in libc. For both the alpha
and the i386 setjmp has been changed to accomodate for the
new sigset_t. Internally, libc is mostly rewritten to use the
new syscalls. The exception is in compat-43/sigcompat.c
The POSIX thread library has also been rewritten to use the
new sigset_t. Except, that it currently only handles NSIG
signals instead of the maximum _SIG_MAXSIG. This should not
be a problem because current applications don't use any
signals higher than NSIG.
There are version bumps for the following libraries:
libdialog
libreadline
libc
libc_r
libedit
libftpio
libss
These libraries either a) have one of the modified structures
visible in the interface, or b) use sigset_t internally and
may cause breakage if new binaries are used against libraries
that don't have the sigset_t change. This not an immediate
issue, but will be as soon as applications start using the
new range to its fullest.
NOTE: libncurses already had an version bump and has not been
given one now.
NOTE: doscmd is a real casualty and has been disconnected for
the moment. Reconnection will eventually happen after
doscmd has been fixed. I'm aware that being the last one
to touch it, I'm automaticly promoted to being maintainer.
According to good taste this means that I will receive a
badge which either will be glued or mechanically stapled,
drilled or otherwise violently forced onto me :-)
NOTE: pcvt/vttest cannot be compiled with -traditional. The
change cause sys/types to be included along the way which
contains the const and volatile modifiers. I don't consider
this a solution, but more a workaround.
commit and those which cause ugly nroff output have been fixed, since
the purpose of the style guideline which they contravene is to reduce
the sizes of deltas.

of VPATH to be a little sexier. I'd say it looks a bit like Claudia
Schiffer now, which I consider a definate improvement. We're also a little
more subtle about saying that VPATH is for backward(s) compatibility.

for BSD less than 4.4 where sys/cdefs.h DNE but can be simulated with
param.h. Unfortunately, the additional include did little to actually
improve portability since we've lost portability in several other chunks
of make code (err(), sysctlbyname(), probable more).
Partly submitted by: bde
"Make no longer properly parses archive files, so using archive members
as make targets, as described in PSD:12 section 4.2, does not work."
Really should be merged into 3.3 before we ship if we can..
it's a trivial fix.

* Consistently misspell built-in as builtin.
* Add a builtin(1) manpage and create builtin(1) MLINKS for all shell
builtin commands for which no standalone utility exists. These MLINKS
replace those that were created for csh(1).
* Add appropriate xrefs for builtin(1) to the csh(1) and sh(1) manpages,
as well as to the manpages of standalone utilities which are supported
as shell builtin commands in at least one of the shells. In such
manpages, explain that similar functionality may be provided as a
shell builtin command.
* Improve sh(1)'s description of the cd builtin command. Csh(1) already
describes it adequately. Replace the cd(1) manpage with a builtin(1)
MLINKS link.
* Clean up some mdoc problems: use Xr instead of literal "foo(n)"; use
Ic instead of Xr for shell builtin commands.
* Undo English contractions.

of user keys (documentation pending). The only key whose semantics have
changed is the capital 'N' key, which now performs a repeat-search in the
opposite direction (just like in vi).
This commit is a little bulkier than what I had originally planned. I'm not
completely happy with the direction it went, but it's definately an
improvement, and the alternative is to continue becoming irrelevant compared
to GNU less. (Does anyone even _use_ /usr/bin/more these days?)
