filesystem not being kq-aware), then fall back to using sleep. This
allows tail to work with NFS filesystems again without chewing up CPU time.
When given the -F flag, resort to sleep/stat after the file was moved
or deleted. This allows a window where the file being tailed does not
exist at all, which is typically the case during log rotation. Switch
back to using kq (if possible) after the file is reopened.
behave as in GNU find (and of course as described in the manual page
diff included). I think these options would be useful for some people.
Some missing $FreeBSD$ tags are also added.
The patch was slightly modified (send-pr mangling of TABS).

in at least the bits specified on the command line. It is
often desirable to find things with any execute or setuid or
setgid bits set.

This would have been commit #2 which was "Obtained from: BSD/OS" except
their code is buggy (they call err() if the execl() fails, which will
incorrectly call exit()), so instead this is:
Obtained from: NetBSD
- Avoid use of word that Americans don't know how to spell
- Avoid use of capital letters when referring to command names
- Bookmarks do span files
- Use .Qq where appropriate. I didn't use .Sq or .Dq where `' and ``''
appear, since it's not clear to me what modern usage of those two
macros is.
- Say simply: ``See .Xr xxx 1'' rather than ``See the .Xr xxx 1 command''.
This former style has undoubtedly increased in popularity due to
html and hyperlinks, but it's always been around (esp. for manpage
sections other than section 1).
- Use .St
- Dedocument use of `-' to mean that `more` should read from its
standard input. The modern preferred way to read from standard
input is by specifying /dev/stdin. This is not a prelude to changing
more's behaviour within the short term (ie. at least 3-4 years).
compress uses setfile() to make flags, ownership and mode of the output
the same as those of the original. However, if the filesystem holding the
output file doesn't support these operations, compress prints a warning.
This bites a bit with NFS directories, which always fail the chflags()
operation. If the file system doesn't support the operation, then the
flags data wasn't valid on the original file anyway, so the warning is
spurious.

to override @-prefixed commands in Makefiles. It is especially useful for
debugging ports and/or complex Makefiles in such a manner that is basically
a last resort, but is quite effective if the output is well-handled.
I'll update the manpage after dinner. ;-)
