For these simple utilities, it doesn't harm to make all global variables
static. In fact, this allows the compiler to perform better forms of
optimisation and analysis.
More precisely, this gives precedence to an interpretation not using the
'(', ')', '-a' and '-o' in their special meaning, if possible. For example,
it is now safe to write [ "$a" = "$b" ] and assume it compares the two
strings.
The man page already says that test(1) works this way, so does not need to
be changed.
Interpretation of input with more parameters tries a bit harder to find a
valid parse in some cases.
Add various additional test cases to TEST.sh.

Remove eaccess(2) absence workaround. Add eaccess(2) checks for FILRD,
FILWR, FILEX and FILEXIST cases.
We cannot MFC this because there is no eaccess(2) in -stable yet.

after making test(1) a sh(1) builtin; sh(1) coredumps when you run
something like this:
sh -c 'test ! `true 1`'
The cause is that the test(1) code totally depends on the presence of
two extra cells at the end of argv that are filled with NULL's. The
reason why the bug hasn't been exposed would be because the C startup
code kindly prepares argv with some extra zeroed cells for a program.
I know this is not the best fix, but since there are argv++'s without
boundary checks everywhere, I'd rather patch it up like this
(preparing a copy of argv with extra NULL's) for the moment.

supposedly it's ksh-derived, and it's not broken in pdksh. I've added
a test for test running as root: if testing for -x, the file must be
mode & 0111 to get "success", rather than just existant.

This change was discussed on freebsd-committers and freebsd-hackers

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been

I (Joerg) finished most of Philippe's cleanup. /bin/sh will still
need *allot* of work, however.
