cd7ea2abf3 kill: use sigqueue to pass value with the signal.
New -q/--queue option for kill so it will send an integer to the
signalled process. See sigqueue(3) for details.

47100a8125 docs: fix manual page warnings
All warnings where about unnecessary quoting.  The scriptlet
below will tell what was wrong.

for I in ./top/top.1 ./ps/ps.1 ./*.[0-9]; do
    echo "== $I warnings =="
    man --warnings=all $I > /dev/null
done

This should probably be turned to 'make check' script.
