not updated as part of `make installworld' such as files in /etc. It
manages updates by doing a three-way merge of changes made to these files
against the local versions. It is also designed to minimize the amount
of user intervention with the goal of simplifying upgrades for clusters
of machines.
The primary difference from mergemaster is that etcupdate requires less
manual work. The primary difference from etcmerge is that etcupdate
updates files in-place similar to mergemaster rather than building a
separate /etc tree.

- Test newslog with clasic naming of rotates files to actually test
the correct number of log files as newsyslog now does the correct
thing post r220926.
- Add some more newsyslog tests which tests keeping 0, 1, and 2
logfiles.
test of newsyslog, as they were mainly made to test 'newsyslog -t',
but they do test the basic functionality.
The test 'framework' was based on dds@'s code in
src/tools/regression/bin/mv/.
Note that currently these tests are not fully correct for the
non-timestamp based rotation case, as it seems like newsyslog actually
by default keeps a file too much around.
