--------------- Original Master Branch Commit Message:
The manual page for watch for the exec option was confusing and
backwards. Hopefully this one makes more sense.

Added locale details and fixed this manual page to follow standards
including ordering it the right way, keeping the names of things
consistent and removing authors section.

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.

Add new flags to watch (-g/--chgexit) so that it exits when the
output changes. This is useful in builds and shell scripts, for
example when deploying webapps to block the remainder of the
deployment steps until after the webapp starts.
e.g. watch --chgexit curl http://foo/bar
A patch from Debian.
