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.

Note: tcsh(1) has a MK_TCSH=no test, so this should be a separate
package, which requires pre-install/post-install scripts, to be
added later.

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 core kernel part is patch file utimes.2008.4.diff from
pluknet@FreeBSD.org. I updated the code for API changes, added the manual
page and added compatibility code for old kernels. There is also audit and
Capsicum support.
A new UTIME_* constant might allow setting birthtimes in future.

For these simple utilities, it doesn't harm to make all global variables
static. In fact, this allows the compiler to perform better forms of
optimisation and analysis.
in at least three ways, so do not say it is ignored:
* who may delete/rename a symlink in a sticky directory
* who may do lchflags(2)/lchown(2)/lchmod(2)
* whose inode quota is charged

In the 'ln source... directory' synopsis, the basename of each source
determines the name of the created link. Determine this using basename(3)
instead of strrchr(..., '/') which is incorrect if the pathname ends in a
slash.
The patch is somewhat changed to allow for basename(3) implementations that
change the passed pathname, and to fix the -w option's checking also.
The code to compare directory entries only applies to hard links, which
cannot be created to directories using ln.
Example:
ln -s /etc/defaults/ /tmp
This should create a symlink named defaults.

Two pathnames refer to the same directory entry iff the directories match
and the final components' names match.
Example: (assuming file1 is an existing file)
ln -f file1 file1
This now fails while leaving file1 intact. It used to delete file1 and then
complain it cannot be linked because it is gone.
With -i, this error is detected before the question is asked.

This implements the POSIX.1-2008 -L and -P flags.
The default remains to create hard links to the target of symlinks.

Cast string precision to `int'. amd64 systems warn about the
field precision being `long int' if we don't, and pathnames are
normally short enough to fit in an `int'.

ln(1) checks to see if the source of a symlink, i.e. the file it
should point to actually exists. The default is the old ln
behavior, that does not check, to avoid surprising people who may
be using ln(1) in scripts or other non-interactive places.
