one zombie process because it does not do the cleanup. For a long running
NIS/YP server, it will have lots of zombie processes on it. Fix that by
ignoring the SIGCHLD signal since we don't really care about the exit
status in this case.

xorg won't fit on disc1 for 6.4-REL. Iterate through media volumes
for packages that wind up being selected from the dists section in

the user selected and then recursively installing their dependencies, finally
installing the ones the user selected after the recursion unwinds. Since
users often select "high-level" packages that are on a higher numbered
disc for the multi-volume release CDROMS this resulted in excessive disc
swapping while installing things like kde, gnome, etc.
Cut down on disc swapping by iterating through the disc volumes one at a
time if we notice the package set is on multiple volumes. If a package
is on a higher volume don't install it yet, but still "process it" so we
get its dependencies installed. Because of the way the package sets for
releases get assembled we're guaranteed dependencies will be on the same
volume or lower.

One of the features that prevented us from fixing some of the TTY
consumers to work once again, was an interface that allowed consumers to
do the following:
- `Sniff' incoming data, which is used by the snp(4) driver.
- Take direct control of the input and output paths of a TTY, which is
used by ng_tty(4), ppp(4), sl(4), etc.
There's no practical advantage in committing a hooks layer without
having any consumers. In P4 there is a preliminary port of snp(4) and
thompsa@ is busy porting ng_tty(4) to this interface. I already want to
have it in the tree, because this may stimulate others to work on the
remaining modules.

A very long time ago we had raw device nodes. quot(8) was supposed to
use these when running `quot -a'. For some reason the code got once
changed to strip the device name until it reaches the last slash. This
is not reliable, because this means /dev/mirror/foo will be stripped to
/dev/foo.
This bug also exists on RELENG_7 and RELENG_6, but I think I'll just
merge them back somewhere after the upcoming releases. There's no rush.

The old logic padded the device name out but assumed the unit number was one digit
long; this fails for things like SATA devices which (for me) begin at ad10.
Assemble the full device name in a temporary buffer and then calcluate padding
based on that string.
- Documentation of send_phy_config()
- cleanup of malloc's() and added error checking throughout
- new capability to iterate over multiple firewire buses
- update usage() display
- cleanup command line parsing to allow out of order switches
- cleanup command line parsing to allow multiple switches per invocation
- cleanup grammar of man page a bit
- add some ranges to the man page to indicate what values are valid
Since fwcontrol's code is the same across 6/7/head this can be
applied to all branches after the MFC period.
