go asking what debug flags to set for GEOM to make it work. Advice
them to use gpart(8) instead.
Something similar should probably done with disklabel,
but I need to rewrite the disklabel examples first.

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

The reasoning behind this, is that if we are consistent in our
documentation about the uint*_t stuff, people will be less tempted to
write new code that uses the non-standard types.
I am not going to bump the man page dates, as these changes can be
considered style nits. The meaning of the man pages is unaffected.

The index() and rindex() functions were marked LEGACY in the 2001
revision of POSIX and were subsequently removed from the 2008 revision.
The strchr() and strrchr() functions are part of the C standard.
This makes the source code a lot more consistent, as most of these C
files also call into other str*() routines. In fact, about a dozen
already perform strchr() calls.
writing label into a file image. The most common use - putting disklabel
into ISO file. Before this change the label would always go to
the offset 512, while geom_part code expects it to be in the 1st
sector (i.e. 2048 incase of ISO). BSD disklabels provide good and
lightweight way to logically split livecds. It is non-intrusive as
far as ISO9660 goes (both boot-wise and metadata-wise) and
completely transparent to anything but BSD, so you can have
BSD-specific area appended after regular ISO.
And with a little bit of GEOM trickery you can do even more
interesting stuff with it.
For example we make "hybrid" bootable CDs using this method.
We create bootable ISO with kernel and such and append UFS
image compressed with UZIP and it works like a charm. We put
label based on the offsef of the BSD part into the ISO. The kernel
boots off normal ISO9660 part, tastes label attaches it,
tastes UZIP, attaches it and finally mounts UFS using GEOM_LABEL.
This provides much better way of eliminating waste than doing
"crunched" build.

fields, but user could specify some of those fields when edits disklabel
with `bsdlabel -e`. But without -A flag these fields might be
overwritten with default values from the virgin disklabel.
So, don't overwrite such fields if they are not zero. Also add checks
to prevent creating disklabel with less than DEFPARTITIONS and more
than MAXPARTITIONS partitions.

- the default label now includes an a: partition by default
- the c: partition is no longer exported via devfs
- writing of the labels usually works in all cases, though the script
assumes half of them have to fail

to open a device for writing. If GEOM_BSD was unavailable, only a rather
obscure error message "Class not found" was printed.
