* 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.

Brought to my attention by the PR, but the fix needed to be tweaked to
handle the auto-install option as well.

NO_MAKEDEV_INSTALL and NO_MAKEDEV_RUN. The former implying the latter.
The names imply what they do. The last commit by DES based on a PR defeated
the original idea behind NO_MAKEDEV, which was not to run MAKEDEV, but to do
the installation of MAKEDEV. This should satisfy both parties on the MAKEDEV
challenge.
Reflect this in mergemaster, this might later on be decided to be set to
NO_MAKEDEV_INSTALL, for now I kept to the old behaviour.
asking the user to actually run the recommended commands related
to installation of files such as aliases or login.conf.
* Return to using grep for CVS $Id comparison. Using ident caused too
many problems for people with local CVS/RCS tags in their stuff.
Attempt to make portability a little easier to maintain in spite of
this change by defining the name of the tag to search for. This
is a slightly different change that solves the problem in the PR.

* Adjust a little whitespace
* Make the distrib-dirs/mtree on DESTDIR conditional on user
actually specifying a DESTDIR. This seemed like a safe
way to get the right directories and permissions in the
installed tree since 'make installworld' does the same
thing, but in practice too many people have custom hacks
that we should leave unmolested. Still need to find a way
to deal with 'install -d' and permissions on nonexistent
directories in the middle of the path, but this is at
least no worse that it was before.

process of making the script more cross platform friendly.
* Add -i option to automatically install files that do not exist
on the system already.
* Add the ability to specify DESTDIR.
* Allow the user to specify scripts to run right before the
comparison starts, and when mm is done. This will
allow the user to specify customized local behavior, and
implement features such as automatically deleting files.
* Document the above changes in the man page.
* Switch to using 'ident' for the CVS Id comparison, which
should help with portability, and makes it faster.
* Reorder, and in one case fix some code by doing things in
ways that make more sense.
* Check to see if the file exists on the system before doing
the comparisons. This saves CPU cycles, and streamlines
the auto-install process.
I used bits and pieces of suggestions and patches from various
people, ultimately too numerous to name. Which is not to say
that they were not both appreciated, and helpful in achieving
the ultimate result.

* Change read -p to echo -n/read to help support portability

Allow the user to view merged files they created with sdiff.
Allow the user to redisplay the diff between the installed file and
the new file again.
