is to be provided by --suffix). Looking at the usage here in diffutils,
it seems that we can just get rid of the -b .orig stuff. This resolves
a problem that can triggered if we move toward to a more permissively
licensed patch(1) program.
32 bits, so subsequent compile time assertion:
sizeof inf->stat.st_mtime <= sizeof sec
Would fail because of that. This change is suitable for
general consumption as well, but fix it in our local
patchset as we are near a code freeze.

default options for diff. These options are interpreted first and can be
overwritten by explicit command line parameters.
* Add the "-o" option to specify old-traditional output style.
* Add utility functions for env vars obtained from GNU Grep 2.3h.
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.
Note, this is going to be messy.. 2.3 was vendor-branch imported, while
2.6 was done as a delta. Sigh. I'm importing this on a vendor branch so
that it will be easier to deal with next time..
(cvs-1.6 wants rcs-5.7, and rcs-5.7 suggests diffutils-2.7)
the same as the changes made in the repository. This is often seen by
people with remote CVS trees that have applied their local patches to the
master site. a 'cvs update' will show bogus conflicts.

In diffutils 2.6 and 2.7, diff3 -A complains about identical overlapping
changes. They're different from the ancestor but not from each other...
Why bother? The patch below fixes this nonsense and preserves [B]ackwards
compatiblity with the -B flag (also --show-bogus-conflicts).
Party on...

Subject: man pages for diff et al.
I finally got tired of not having man pages for diff and friends, so I
edited the appropriate sections of the texinfo manual into man format.
copying the same files to multiple directories. This should make
things easier when it comes time to update to a newer version of
diffutils.
With this checkin, this brings the netbsd and freebsd diff dists
into sync.
