daef3d23e9 Deorbit catman. The tradeoff of disk for performance has long since tipped
in favor of just rendering the manpage instead of relying on pre-formatted
catpages. Note, this does not impede the ability to use existing catpages,
it just removes the utility to generate them.

7e6cabd06e Renumber copyright clause 4
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

7089418fe7 Attempt to clear up some confusion in the following example, by stating
the '-c' argument is passed to the shell, not to su(1), which would
indicate the login class.

6e72a32935 - add the -m option to the example commands because they would fail w/o it
as the ``man'' user does not have a valid shell by default.

bcb0f2f3e2 Deconvolute the authentication mess, and hand total responsiblity
for authentication to PAM. This meens that WHEELSU-type logic can
now be effected in the pam.conf "su" configuration stack. While here,
clean up the mess that the code had assumed over years of hacking by
folks using different styles. ANSIfy.

There is more policy in here that can be handed over to PAM. This will
be revisited.
