Robert Watson 3b97a967e1 Vendor branch import of TrustedBSD OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 5:
- Update install notes to indicate /etc files are to be installed manually.
- On systems without LOG_SECURITY, use LOG_AUTH.
- Convert to autoconf/automake in order to move to a more portable (not
  BSD-specific) build infrastructure, and more easy conditional building of
  components.  Currently, the primary feature loss is that automake does
  not have native support for manual symlinks.  This will be addressed in a
  future OpenBSM release.
- Add compat/queue.h, to be used on systems dated BSD queue macro libraries
  (as found on Linux).
- Rename CHANGELOG to HISTORY, as our change log doesn't follow some of the
  existing conventions for a CHANGELOG.
- Some private data structures moved from audit.h to audit_internal.h to
  prevent inappropriate use by applications and name space pollution.
- Improved detection and use of endian macros using autoconf.
- Avoid non-portable use of struct in6_addr, which is largely opaque.
- Avoid leaking BSD kernel socket related token code to user space in
  bsm_token.c.
- Teach System V IPC calls to look for Linux naming variations for certain
  struct ipc_perm fields.
- Test for audit system calls, and if not present, don't build
  bsm_wrappers.c, bsm_notify.c, audit(8), and auditd(8), which rely on
  those system calls.
- au_close() is not implemented on systems that don't have audit system
  calls, but au_close_buffer() is.
- Work around missing BSDisms in bsm_wrapper.c.
- Fix nested includes so including libbsm.h in an application on Linux
  picks up the necessary definitions.

- Teach praudit how to general XML format BSM streams.
- Teach libbsm about any additional 64-bit token types that are present
in more recent Solaris versions.
- Build a regression test suite for libbsm that generates each token
type and then compares the results with known good data. Make sure to
test that things work properly with respect to endianness of the local
platform.
- Document contents of libbsm "public" data structures in libbsm man pages.
- The audit.log.5 man page is incomplete, as it does not describe all
token types.
- With the move to autoconf/automake, man page symlinks are no longer
installed. This needs to be fixed.
- It might be desirable to be able to provide EOPNOTSUPP system call stubs
on systems that don't have the necessary audit system calls; that would
allow the full libbsm and tool set to build, just not run.
