94f2b78379 - Directories marked `optional' won't be stored, even though their
contents will be.
- Document that `optional' faked-up entries won't be created.

ae5120dc49 Add '-N dbdir', to specify that user & group lookups (via pwcache(3)) are to
be done from dbdir/master.passwd and dbdir/group, using simple text file
parsing routines from ../../usr.sbin/mtree/getid.c.
This does not affect the -G and -U options, which always use the
system databases.

dc9f52db45 Add a second example for copying directory trees, this time as root
(using -pe, which also preserves ownership).

Proof-read by Perry.

55026d5454 Implement -M flag: During a write or copy operation, treat the list of
files on standard input as an mtree(8) `specfile' specification, and
write or copy only those items in the specfile.

If the file exists in the underlying file system, its permissions and
modification time will be used unless specifically overridden by the
specfile. An error will be raised if the type of entry in the specfile
conflicts with that of an existing file.

Otherwise, it is necessary to specify at least the following parameters
in the specfile: type, mode, gname or gid, and uname or uid, device
(in the case of block or character devices), and link (in the case of
symbolic links). If time isn't provided, the current time will be used.

d0666190e1 Add a -O option: force one volume. This causes pax to not prompt for
a new volume upon premature end-of-volume (e.g. broken pipe).  This is
especially useful in automated environments where error recovery cannot
be performed by a human.

b60cafe2fb add a new -p subflag: 'f' to preserve 4.4BSD fileflags. this only
really works for `pax -rw' but that's where it is most useful.

f124765044 More and more .Os cleanups. .Os is defined in the tmac.doc-common file,
so we shouldn't override it with versions in the manpages.  Many more to
