<content type='text'>
Related to the 2010-03-25 commit, 88d4b346,
"timeout: use more standard option parsing".
* src/nice.c (main): Don't use parse_long_options()
which is a helper for commands that don't have any
long options specific to them.
* src/chroot.c (main): Likewise.
* tests/misc/nice-fail: Remove a case that now
passes due to us accepting multiple instances of the
--help and --version options.
* tests/misc/chroot-fail: Likewise.

<title>nice, nohup, su: detect write failure to stderr</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1c59bb3cefff73c532033863e60e9130892a50dd</id>
<content type='text'>
These programs can print non-fatal diagnostics to stderr prior to
exec'ing a subsidiary program.  However, if we thought the situation
warranted a diagnostic, we insist that the diagnostic be printed
without error, rather than blindly exec, as it may be a security risk.

For an example, try 'nice -n -1 nice 2&gt;/dev/full'.  Failure to raise
priority (by lowering niceness) is not fatal, but failure to inform
the user about failure to change priority is dangerous.

* src/nice.c (main): Declare failure if writing advisory message
to stderr fails.
* src/nohup.c (main): Likewise.
* src/su.c (main): Likewise.
* tests/misc/nice: Test this.
* tests/misc/nohup: Likewise.
* NEWS: Document this.

<content type='text'>
* src/system.h: Rename emit_bug_reporting_address() to
emit_ancillary_info() and update it to not print the translation
project address in en_* locales, and _do_ print it in the 'C'
(and other) locales so that it's included in the default man page.
Also mention how to invoke the texinfo documentation for each command.
Also move the "hard-locale.h" include to the 8 files that now use it.
* man/help2man: Strip the newly added texinfo reference from the
--help output as a more verbose version is already added by help2man.
Suggestion from C de-Avillez

With this change, a version-string update no longer
forces recompilation of 100+ src/*.o files.

(noinst_LIBRARIES, libver_a_SOURCES): Define.

(sc_tight_scope): Use perl (was sed), and a more relaxed regexp
to build the global-variable-name-recognizing regexp list.

In 1463824d8e7f72c31f1d803d7cfe2b608ccafc5c, I added some
missing "const" directives, as well as some new, redundant ones.
This removes the redundant ones.  Pointed out by Eric Blake.
* base64.c, cat.c, chcon.c, chgrp.c, chmod.c, chown.c, comm.c:
* cp.c, csplit.c, cut.c, date.c, dd.c, df.c, dircolors.c, du.c:
* env.c, expand.c, fmt.c, fold.c, groups.c, head.c, id.c:
* install.c, join.c, kill.c, ln.c, ls.c, md5sum.c, mkdir.c:
* mkfifo.c, mknod.c, mktemp.c, mv.c, nice.c, nl.c, od.c:
* paste.c, pathchk.c, pinky.c, pr.c, ptx.c, readlink.c, rm.c:
* rmdir.c, runcon.c, seq.c, shred.c, shuf.c, sort.c, split.c:
* stat.c, stty.c, su.c, sum.c, tac.c, tail.c, tee.c, timeout.c:
* touch.c, tr.c, truncate.c, tty.c, uname.c, unexpand.c, uniq.c:
* wc.c, who.c: Remove redundant const directives.
* maint.mk (sc_const_long_option): Don't require redundant "const".
