8f385d0e89 UI improvements. First, implement --default-item whenever and wherever
possible to save keystrokes. Second, overhaul startup/rcdelete for much
improved performance. Last, but not least, kill-off useage of --clear
and implement --keep-tite in harmony to minimize jarring transitions.
Also, fix local variable names where necessary while we're here with
other minor comment-enhancements/typo-corrections.

6089bf07c7 Add new flags -d' (sets debug=1) and -D file' (sets debugFile) and
improve debugging initialization. Also fixup USAGE statements while we're
here. Also, change initialization of main program to _not_ change working
directory, allowing the debugFile to be relative without confusion.

71e5cb8556 Replicate a feature from sysinstall documented in
stable/9/usr.sbin/sysinstall/help/shortcuts.hlp (reproduced below):

If /usr/sbin/sysinstall is linked to another filename, say
`/usr/local/bin/configPackages', then the basename will be used
as an implicit command name.

To get a list of modules you can link to, see `bsdconfig -h' output.

ec17dd03e0 jilles accurately advises that, in the context of shell redirection, the `:'
builtin is processed specially and thus the `: > file' syntax for example
will cause premature termination of the current shell on redirection-error.

The `true' builtin on the other-hand is not included in this special
processing (for compatibility reasons to satisfy legacy scripts programmed
for systems where `true' is not a builtin).

Change bare `: > file' syntax into `true > file' syntax to prevent premature
shell termination in the event of redirection-error.

NOTE: Instances of `: > file' that appear within a sub-shell have been left
unmodified as these will not cause premature termination of the main script.

f628c47944 Change all invocations of dialog(1) to no-longer require temporary files.
This allows bsdconfig to -- like bsdinstall -- operate from read-only media.

deprecated sysinstall(8). NOTE: WITH_BSDCONFIG is currently required.
