they want to delete '*'. It turns out that there is one valid case where
this might happen, installing to an empty DESTDIR.

* Add a paragraph suggesting that the merge option be used only for
files that users have modified. People have been using this option
for all files that are different, causing unecessary confusion.
The idea for this option came from Marc Schneiders <marc@schneiders.org>
* I've been meaning to remove the code that checked for the existence of
/etc/sysconfig for a while now, since that file was last seen in 2.2.2.
* Replace the above with a check for elements of the old rc system.
Offer to move these files out of DESTDIR/etc for the user's convenience.
* Give back one line of ws when showing a diff.
This was requested by several.
* Un-quote DIFF_FLAG, and add DIFF_OPTIONS. This will allow the user to
do more creative things in a mergemaster rc file. Un-quoting is necessary
in order to handle things like CVS Id tags that look like shell variables.
* Simplify terminal width determination.
Suggestions related to ignoring the CVS Id's were taken from several, with
dillon and gad providing particularly helpful feedback.
hatching the idea of using dc, and Giorgos (keramida) for incubating it.
This also reverses most of the previous commit which took out or
modified the text about umask stuff.
are installing.
* Since this means that for now we can't accomodate non-standard
umask's, warn the user accordingly.
* Convert the "press enter to continue" prompt into a function.
master.passwd, group, and make.conf
* Add a feature to check variables in rc.conf[.local] to their
counterparts in /etc/defaults/rc.conf after a run
* Twiddle whitespace a little
* Change some "[ -f file ] && rm file" to "rm -f file"
* Fix a problem with files that have no CVS $Id's. Thanks to naddy for
spotting this one. It wasn't a _huge_ problem since almost all the files
we install (except motd) have one, but still, it's a bug.
* Add a divider between diff outputs, which is helpful both for logs,
and for giving a good visual clue for diffs that are smaller than
$LINES. Another helpful suggestion from Gary W. Swearingen, swear@blarg.net.
Use -tag list in the FILES section to work around the bug
when .Pa font is not restored to its original value if one
of the -hang, -ohang, or -inset lists is used in the FILES
section. (The fix for the bug has just been submitted to
the GNU Groff maintainers.)
Also, fixed the Handbook reference in the SEE ALSO.
exist, and therefore mm_install is returning the "fail" value of
the test instead of the "success" value for install.
This change is a no-op on HEAD, but since the only harm on RELENG_4
ATM is a spurious warning it can follow the usual MFC practice.

"install && rm" change fits in with the new FreeBSD default of
copy instead of move for install. Changing the order of the deletion
of the spurious password files doesn't affect FreeBSD functionality,
but it's done in such a way as not to matter.

* Minor umask portability change (Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.inka.de>)
* Clarify default value of the "run it now" option (bmah)
* Make "run it now" $DESTDIR safe (bsd)
* Handle installation of hard links for /.profile and /.cshrc properly
when the auto-install option is selected
* Fix some more whitespace issues
