Even as conservative project as coreutils has switched to xz distributions so
neither should we have any reason to use gz and waste space & bandwidth.

The library used to be called libprocps but it was renamed to make sure
there was only one. However the formatting of the library SONAME has
changed so there cannot be any confusion.
libprocps makes it clear that its a library from this project and not a
set of functions directly on the filesystem.
The patch also removes fixed size of input, which can be problematic.
I do not know how long the string `yes' might be in all of the worlds
languages.

The utility library is for functions which are shared in commands,
but that does not belong to libproc-ng. The first function is a
wrapper for strtol that performs error checking, and exists if such
happen.

. 1 program uses curses (top)
. 2 programs use ncurses (slabtop, watch)
. all 3 include non-wide <curses.h> or <ncurses.h>
. those 3 do not currently need wide support
. but anticipating nls, we link against libncursesw
This patch ensures an environment consistent with current
and future ncurses needs.
Slackware seems to have this patch, while it is not in use(?) Well,
the upstream procps-ng allows one to disable warnings if that is
wanted. After all having this sort of 'feature' does not cost much,
while lacking it might annoy someone.
A patch from Slackware.

Previously the version of libproc always tracked the version of procps.
This doesn't work when other non-procps programs link to the library as
they are always playing catch up.
This change makes the library version independent of the procps version.
It will only be incremented when needed.
procps works well on Linux, on other arches there are some strange
differences due to their emulation of procfs which is not 100%
Disabling checks for non-linux until that can be sorted out.
configure.ac now set to 3.3.1

This patch represents the tests for a minimal environment
consistent with current ncurses needs.
It should allow a successful configure and build

Some distributions apparently want to have w command to print FROM
field by default.

The kill from procps-ng is not always wanted. For example RedHat
seems to prefer kill from util-linux package.

The AC_CHECK_HEADER_STDBOOL, which was used earlier, requires
autoconf 2.68 (2010-09-22), without great functional benefit in
comparison AC_HEADER_STDBOOL. The only thing newer macro does is
a problem for many user who has older autoconf in use.

Move files that are not compiled to <build-root>/contrib
directory. The files consist two unmaintained commands,
alternative ps & w, and and broken utmp examination / printing
utility. The dummy.c became unnecessary at the point when
autotools where re-introduced.

This will revert change at Oct 2002 when autotools support was
removed.
Unlike before the package developers are expected to use
./autogen.sh to generate ./configure script, and run make after
that. The build system is also able to create, with make dist, a
tar ball release which compiles correctly, and has files which
seemed to be important to have.
The patch removes few unnecessary files, but no everything. Files
procps.lsm and procps.spec in git repository are useless as is,
but I left them lying around for someone who can make more
justified call about removal of them.
Last, but not least package version number is set 3.3.0 to
distinct this procps from the sourceforge's upstream procps.
Please notice that libproc relese is kept as 3.2.8.
