last one. To make it easier to find the last one create symlinks with 'last'
suffix that will point to the files of the last coredump, eg.:
info.last -> info.5
textdump.tar.last.gz -> textdump.tar.5.gz

provide dump directory. Eliminate this redundant argument. This changes
the usage, but the only risk here is that a warning will be printed
about directory given as device.
- Update usage of -C option.
- When clearing dump header from the given device there is also no need to
provide dump directory, although additional arguments for -c were not
documented.
- Document that -v can be used with -c and that list of devices can be given.

rather than the memcmp() which is used for regular dumps: the
textdump string is one character shorter, so we need to stop
comparing at the end of the string.
Use independent version checking logic for architecture-specific
version number vs. textdump version number, as the version sequences
may (someday) differ.

at LOG_WARNING by default; instead, consider it something to be printed
to the tty when 'verbose' mode is set. This avoids printing out extra
lines at every boot on a system with crash dumps enabled, but that has
not yet had to generate a crashdump.

the stack to the heap to work around a problem on ia64. Now, roughly
16 months and two compiler updates later, it isn't an issue anymore
in the sense that putting a 1M buffer on the stack just works and we
don't actually need to work around anything anymore.
However, since there's no advantage or need to put the buffer on the
stack (again), this change merely removes the XXX comment describing
that there's an explicit reason for the heap allocation. Hence, this
change is a functional no-op.

The immediate purpose for this option is to use it in rc.d so that we
can make savecore behavior conditional.
Tremendous assistance with ideas and sanity checking provided by tjr
and b@etek.chalmers.se.
- reimplement -z
- use syslog()
- improve consistancy of messages
- allow -f to recover cleared dumps
- return bufsize to 1024 * 1024
- return the ability to write sparse files
- update man page
- fix minfree to require 2k for info file instead of the kernel size
- include Berkeley copyright too due to amount of old code copied
