This structure is deprecated and only used by ftime(2), which is part of
libcompat. The second argument of get_date() is unused, which means we
can just remove it entirely.
I was considering committing all these patches one by one, but as
discussed with brooks@, there is no need to do this. If we ever
need/want to merge these changes back, it is still possible to do this
per application.
It is a bit unfortunate that the example to delete broken symlinks now uses
rm(1), but allowing this with -delete would require fixing fts(3) to not
imply FTS_NOCHDIR if FTS_LOGICAL is given (or hacks in the -delete option).

Formerly, this tried to clear the flags on the symlink's target
instead of the symlink itself.
As before, this only happens for root or for the unlink(1) variant of rm.

First of all, current behavior is not documented and confusing,
and it can be very dangerous in the following sequence:
find -L . -type l
find -L . -type l -delete
(the second line is even suggested by find(1)).
Instead simply refuse to proceed when -L and -delete are both used.
A descriptive error message is provided.
The following command can be safely used to remove broken links:
find -L . -type l -print0 | xargs rm -0
To do: update find(1)

in our find.
The following are nops because they aren't relevant to our find:
-ignore_readdir_race
-noignore_readdir_race
-noleaf
The following aliaes were created:
-gid -> -group [2]
-uid -> -user [2]
-wholename -> -path
-iwholename -> ipath
-mount -> -xdev
-d -> -depth [1]
The following new primaries were created:
-lname like -name, but matches symbolic links only)
-ilname like -lname but case insensitive
-quit exit(0)
-samefile returns true for hard links to the specified file
-true Always true
I changed one primary to match GNU find since I think our use of it violates
POLA
-false Always false (was an alias for -not!)
Also, document the '+' modifier for -execdir, as well as all of the above.
This was previously implemented.
Document the remaining 7 primaries that are in GNU find, but aren't yet
implemented in find(1)
[1] This was done in GNU find for compatibility with FreeBSD, yet they
mixed up command line args and primary args.
[2] -uid/-gid in GNU find ONLY takes a numeric arg, but that arg does the
normal range thing that. GNU find -user and -uid also take a numberic arg,
but don't do the range processing. find(1) does both for -user and -group,
so making -uid and -gid aliases is compatible for all non-error cases used
in GNU find. While not perfect emulation, this seems a reasonable thing
for us.

Move the HISTORY section to place it before BUGS rather than after BUGS,
