is anything but useful. Nevertheless this was a very good platform to use as
an OpenBSD/*arm* starting point, but nowadays this platform is not necessary
anymore.
Somehow these CATS motherboard are just like AUI hubs, with the difference that,
when my AUI hub caught fire, 10base5 support was not removed from the networking
code.
Document that getopt_long(3) can and will accept unique abbreviated long
option names. This feature has been present since getopt_long(3) was first
released in NetBSD 1.5. This is also standard GNU getopt_long(3) behavior.

isolate its usage to libpthread only and replace with generic non-static
mutex support in the one place it is needed:
- remove _FD_LOCK/UNLOCK from lseek and ftruncate in libc and make the
functions weak so that libpthread can override with its own new
versions that do the locking.
- remove _thread_fd_lock/unlock() weak functions from libc and adjust
libpthread for the change.
- add generic _thread_mutex_lock/unlock/destroy() weak functions in libc
to support non-static mutexes in libc and add libpthread and librthread
implementations for them. libc can utilize non-static mutexes via the
new _MUTEX_LOCK/UNLOCK/DESTROY() macros. Actually these new macros can
support both static and non-static mutexes but currently only using
them for non-static.
- make opendir/closedir/readdir/readdir_r/seekdir/telldir() thread-safe
for both thread libraries by using a non-static mutex in the struct
_dirdesc (typedef DIR), utilizing it in the *dir functions and remove
remaining and incorrect _FD_LOCK/UNLOCK() use in libc.
- add comments to both thread libraries to indicate libc depends on the
current implementation of static mutex initialization. suggested by
marc@
- major bump libc and libpthread due to function removal, structure
change and weak symbol conversions.

Improves support for both 'smart' (those providing sensor status) and
'old-style' sensors.
Due to re-design, the following improvements are now present and many
flaws are now gone:
== for smart sensors ==
* automatically monitor all sensors that provide status by themselves,
with the possibility to ignore certain individual sensors or sensors
of certain type (appropriate template for sensorsd.conf is included)
* report actual sensor status as provided by the driver. Previously,
WARN, CRITICAL and UNKNOWN statuses were considered the same, but
now they are different and will be reported separately. This also
improves readability of the log-files and consistency with sysctl
output.
* ability to ignore status provided by the driver with the 'istatus'
keyword ("ignore automatic status" or "I set the status"), with the
possibility to set your own settings for acceptable limits.
Previously, it was not possible to set any kind of user limits for
those sensors that had their own status facilities.
== for old-style sensors ==
* previously, lm(4)-style fans that were flagged SENSOR_FINVALID during
sensorsd startup were completely ignored, but now their invalid status
is appropriately reported, and they are monitored again when they come
out of their invalid mode
* previously, a sensor that had an empty entry in the configuration file
was reported to be "within limits", but now it will not be monitored
at all (unless, of cause, it provides its own status)
As a bonus, sensorsd syslog entries should now be shorter, and the
majority of them will fit on one line on 80-column terminals.

instead of kind-of manual copyin/out. increases accuracy in server mode.
collecting dust in my tree for some time, result of a conversation with
somebody i really want to give credit to, but I can't find the mails now :(
