- Use MAP_FAILED instead of the constant -1 to indicate
failure (required by POSIX).
- Removed flag arguments of '0' (required by POSIX).
- Fixed code which expected an error return of 0.
- Fixed code which thought any address with the high bit set

- Check for failure where no checks were present.

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.
- Change the debug flag from -d to -D to avoid conflict with other
install programs.
- Update man page to reflect this
- Update usage string
-d meaning creat directory is specifically not implemented by these changes.

installing. mmap'ing stuff over a nfs mount took out my machine during
a 'make world' last night while I was asleep. I started out with a list

installs something. This is not 100% right, since it has a false hit

Also, run strip(1) from the $PATH, otherwise you need a special version

With JDP's elfkit, the layout of the path determines which binary format
you are generating.
allow the user to install using a Numeric GID or UID.
this brings it in to line with chgrp and chown, ans is required
by some people using FreeBSD in a product.
time of the target if the target file is the same as the source),
-d (debug), and -p (same as -C except for preserving the modification
time of the source if the target doesn't exists or is different from
the source.
Use library err() functions instead of our own and pass them better
exit codes.

Get the man page installed. Does anyone know the reason for the name
xinstall instead of install for this directory ? Would life more
easy to get this whole thing under install.
