Move group_from_gid to grp.h
Remove from stdlib.h
Make the prototypes match the code
Fix rm and mv to include new files.
NetBSD has these defined in those files, and others too that I've not
done.

o Old-style K&R declarations have been converted to new C89 style
o register has been removed
o prototype for main() has been removed (gcc3 makes it an error)
o int main(int argc, char *argv[]) is the preferred main definition.
o Attempt to not break style(9) conformance for declarations more than

This error popped up while doing a PicoBSD cross-compile on a 4.3-ish system,
it may well be that there are other apps which have similar problems,
but I did not spot them as they are not included in my picobsd config.
Whether adding prototypes for main() is the correct solution or not
I have no idea, a request to -current on the matter went basically
unanswered. Those who have better ideas are welcome to back this out
and replace it with the correct fix.
interface, and statically link them to the programs using them.
These functions, upon reflection and discussion, are too generically
named for a library interface with such specific functionality.
Also the api that they use, whilst ok for private use, isn't good
enough for a libc function.
Additionally there were complications with the build/install-world
process. It depends heavily upon xinstall, which got broken by
the change in api, and caused bootstrap problems and general mayhem.
There is work in progress to address future problems that may be
caused by changes in install-chain tools, and better names for
{g|s}etflags can be derived when some future program requires them.
For now the code has been left in src/lib/libc/gen (it started off
in src/bin/ls).
It's important to provide library functions for manipulating file
flag strings if we ever want this interface to be adopted outside
of the source tree, but now isn't necessarily the right moment
with 4.0-release just around the corner.

string to u_long and back using two functions, flags_to_string and
string_to_flags, which co-existed with 'ls'. As time has progressed
more and more other tools have used these private functions to
manipulate the file flags.
Recently I moved these functions from /usr/src/bin/ls to libutil,
but after some discussion with bde it's been decided that they
really ought to go in libc.
There are two already existing libc functions for manipulating file
modes: setmode and getmode. In keeping with these flags_to_string
has been renamed getflags and string_to_flags to setflags.
The manual page could probably be improved upon ;)
respectively, in accordance with SUSv2.
This differs from the approach taken in NetBSD, but provides
less obscure error messages in at least the EISDIR case and
does not take up additional disk space for new binaries.

rm must not use FTS_NOCHDIR, since chdir'ing is required for removing
deep directory trees and the ability to remove such trees is required
by POSIX.2 and POLA. The breakage didn't make much difference until
recently, since fts(3) didn't work in deep directory trees. It isn't
clear whether using FTS_NOCHDIR ever fixed anything (Net/2's rm.c is
similar to Lite1's). Perhaps it was actually to limit the damage
caused by the fts bug.
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
insane otherwise.
