- g_lcm() - calculates Least Common Multiple of two given values,
it is helpful when we need to find sector size for provider
which is based on disks with different sector size;
- g_get_mediasize() - returns media size of given provider;
- g_get_sectorsize() - returns sector size of given provider;
Those function aren't used now, but are used by geom_mirror which will be
committed soon.
routed should be able to specify multicast memberships to be added by
interface index. This should fix the unnumbered / point-to-point case
for RIPv2.

modification of a patch which was already applied for BSD/OS in the
Rhyolite.com sources; this file is already off the vendor branch.

o Add sanity checking to the firewall delete operation
which tells the user that a firewall rule
specification is required.
The previous behaviour was to exit without reporting any
errors to the user.

. Implement option -c, all partition sizes will be calculated
in cylinders as opposed to sectors. Since the Sun label is
inherently cylinder-based, this makes the job a little easier.
. Implement option -h, print the label in `human readable'
size/offset format.
. Implement SVR4-compatible VTOC-style elements. They are
fully optional, defaulting to the current behaviour where no
VTOC-style table will be written to disk. However, if
desired, the full functionality of the partitioning menu of
Solaris' format(1m) is now offered (and even more).
. When editing the label, do not loop around edit_label() where
a new template file is generated for each turn, this used to
be annoying in that any possible syntax error caused a
complaint, but then the template was created anew, so the
user had to perform all their editing again. Rather loop
inside edit_label(), similar to bsdlabel(8), so in case of
errors, the user will be presented their previous template
file again.
. If VTOC-style elements are present, the overlap checks are
made less stringent. Overlaps will still be warned about,
but overlaps of `unmountable' partitions against other ones
are no longer fatal. That way, e. g. VxVM encapsulated
disk labels can be fully edited in FreeBSD (but not in
Solaris ;-).
. In print_label(), generate the editing hints only if the -e
flag is in effect. Additionally, print a hint about the
total number of sectors in the (hardware) medium.
. When editing a label, allow for changing the geometry
emulation (and textual name) by modifying the "text:" line
on top. That way, a more effective emulation can be
chosen.
. When editing/reading a label, additionally allow for the
suffixes `s' (512-byte sectors), and `c' (cylinders) in the
partition size field.
. Finally, turn the stub man page into something that really
explains the entire thing.
Print the ETA of dump being finished, rather than a cryptic delta
time. Also, if we have written more blocks than the tapesize, assume
that we are 99.99% done and that we'll be finished 'soon'.
