benefit of scripts start out as: #!/bin/sh -- # -*- perl -*-
With this fix in place, we can commit a change to kern/imgact_shell.c
so FreeBSD will process the `#!' line in shell-scripts in a more
standard fashion.

work as expected when they have a "shebang line" of:
#!/bin/sh -- # -*- perl -*- -p
This specific line is recommended in some perl documentation, and I think
I've seen similar lines in documentation for ruby and python. Those
write-ups expect `sh' to ignore everything after the '--' if the first
thing after the '--' is a '#'. See chapter 19, "The Command-Line Interface"
in 3rd edition of "Programming Perl", for some discussion of why perl
recommends using this line in some circumstances.
The above line does work on solaris, irix and aix (as three data points),
and it used to work on FreeBSD by means of a similar patch to execve().
However, that change to execve() effected *all* shells (which caused
other problems), and that processing was recently removed.

o Old-style K&R declarations have been converted to new C89 style
o register has been removed
o prototype for main() has been removed (gcc3 makes it an error)
o int main(int argc, char *argv[]) is the preferred main definition.
o Attempt to not break style(9) conformance for declarations more than
they already are.
o Change
int
foo() {

int
foo(void)

mkinit.c still produces C code with redundant declarations, although
they are more harmless since they automatically derived from the right
places.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
getopts should now work as expected. This fix was in the NetBSD
code that I was merging from but missed getting into FreeBSD's
version because of 'drain bamage' on my part.

merge of parallel duplicate work by Steve Price and myself. :-]
There are some changes to the build that are my fault... mkinit.c was
trying (poorly) to duplicate some of the work that make(1) is designed to
do. The Makefile hackery is my fault too, the depend list was incomplete
because of some explicit OBJS+= entries, so mkdep wasn't picking up their
source file #includes.
This closes a pile of /bin/sh PR's, but not all of them..
