garbage value for the username (hex garbage, that is), and the -d flag
provides a default username for fallback purposes if the user cannot be
looked up. That is very useful for the case where inetd auth is
running on a NAT box.
While I'm here updating the manpage, clean up an English error and a
few small nits.
I've taken time to write up comments for the ident code tonight,
so there should no longer be any confusion about the purpouse of
whatever is in there. Wow, me commenting code... who'd have thought
that would happen?

Got rid of an extra variable or two, while making corrections to
problems (that would probably not be a problem anyway, and worked.)

* Bring memory allocation failure handling in line with that of
the rest of the code.
* Nestle block curlies between case statements correctly.
I've left the in-block declarations alone, since style(9) says we should
conform to the existing style within the code, and inetd already does
this. I've left the asprintf()'s in there because that's how Brian wants
it.
used! I don't declare every variable at the top of a function because
that wastes stack space. I've clarified the error a bit (for if asprintf()
filas.)
1. Cleanups of ident_stream. "Evil" stdio is less used.
2. The BSD Copyright was added to the top of builtins.c.
3. As suggested, a timeout is now implemented in the ident
service. It defaults to 10 seconds. If enough people want
it, I'll make it configurable.
