interact very nicely with HTTP proxies: Since proxies do not know
that all the files on portsnap1.freebsd.org are identical to the
files with the same names on portsnap2.freebsd.org, said proxies end
up downloading and storing files in duplicate.
This commit uses the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, if set, to
generate a random number seed for use in selecting a mirror. This
means that if several systems all have the same HTTP_PROXY value set,
they will ask the proxy to fetch files from the same mirror (unless
that mirror fails, in which case all the systems will use the same
second choice, et cetera).
Portsnap still doesn't interact very well with "transparent" HTTP
proxies, but there's nothing I can do about those.

track of which mirrors we have tried and try a different mirror if we
fail when trying to download the SSL public key or the snapshot
signature.
Failures later in the download process will not result in switching to
a different mirror, for two reasons:
1. If is very unlikely that a mirror will fail partway through the
process of downloading updates.
2. If we switched from a more recently updated mirror to a less
recently updated mirror partway through the download process, we would
end up failing anyway because we would be trying to fetch files which
the second mirror didn't have yet.

people who install portsnap from the ports tree onto older versions of
FreeBSD.

An mtree description of all non-zero files that make
distribution installs (only size and md5) is built from the
temproot. When the user completes a mergemaster run, the
mtree description file gets installed into /var/db for
safe-keeping.
When the user then decides to do a subsequent upgrade (with
the -U flag), the existing mtree description from /var/db
is called into service looking for files that are different in
DESTDIR. This is stashed away until a file that would normally
end up prompting the user to look at changes is encountered.
Since there are no user modified changes, the new file is
installed without bothering the user.

- Remove hard sentence breaks;
- Avoid using double negatives or "sexist" language;
- Expand contractions;
- Remove a blank line;
- Some grammar changes.
Usually we do not "hard code" requests to submit bugs to the author, but
I will leave this go for now.
subject: ranges of uid, ranges of gid, jail id
objects: ranges of uid, ranges of gid, filesystem,
object is suid, object is sgid, object matches subject uid/gid
object type
We can also negate individual conditions. The ruleset language is
a superset of the previous language, so old rules should continue
to work.
These changes require a change to the API between libugidfw and the
mac_bsdextended module. Add a version number, so we can tell if
we're running mismatched versions.
Update man pages to reflect changes, add extra test cases to
test_ugidfw.c and add a shell script that checks that the the
module seems to do what we expect.

1900 in network byte order. Use a uint32_t to calculate and send
the time, so that we don't need to know how big ints or longs are.
I used uint32_t instead of int in the patch, on the off chance
someone uses our inetd source on a system that doesnt 32 bit ints.
