* There is no -indent option to .Bd or .Bl, although you would
never know that from its frequent use in this tree. There is a
"-offset indent" combination that makes sense, and you can certainly
say "-width indent".
* Also, you can't markup the -width option argument, tho you CAN
use a callable macro. So "-width Ar filename" doesn't make sense,
but either "-width Ar" or "-width filename" does, as might something
like "-width xxfilename" for a little extra space.
* There are a lot of needlessly complex hanging tag macros in man4 used
to create simple item lists. Those should be simplified one of these
days before someone copies and edits yet another man4 page.
for most of this. I just integrated the build).
This adds proper functions for the _Qp* parts of the sparc64 ABI (which
handle quad softfloat). The routines work but need additional testing.
However if the compiler calls these currently bad things (core dumps)
will happen as gcc 2.95.3 generates bad calls for these.
Until that problem is fixed in the toolchain -msoft-quad-float cannot be
enabled as the default option for all builds (but the routines need to be
in libc as libgcc contains some references to these and anything including
it via --whole-archive will need the symbols to at least resolve).

* Fixed behaviour of the menu window handling. The library no longer
creates the subwindow or window which is correct behaviour as documented
in the ETI library documentation.
The openpty() routine has been modified to use the extra pty names
before the "traditional" names, so that programs too dumb to use
openpty() will, hopefully, find one of the "traditional" ptys free
even if many others are in use. The modifications to MAKEDEV are
courtesy Andrew Brown, and are pretty clever: the unit numbers used
by the "traditional" names stay the same, to avoid trouble when
upgrading existing systems. The unusual use of "dd" to index an
array in MAKEDEV is because no other simple method seemed feasible
using only the programs on the install media for all ports.
round has been tested on Solaris/x86 and Linux hosts.
* Add host tools cap_mkdb, ctags, m4, uudecode.
* Protect __RCSID() and __COPYRIGHT() better.
* Reduce the number of places that need to include "config.h", to keep
sources closer to their "vanilla" versions.
* Add more compat #defines and autoconf-checked functions.

XXX TODO: consider libm-fast for alpha that is not -mieee. Possibly
determine -mieee or not at run-time based on a bit in the executable
headers.
user_from_uid(3) and uid_from_user(3) use to lookup user information.
- Implement pwcache_groupdb(3), which changes the routines that
group_from_gid(3) and gid_from_group(3) use to lookup group information.
- Ensure that private functions in pwcache.c are declared static
- Use strlcpy(3) instead of strncpy(3)
