Add proper build infrastructure for teken.
I'm not sure whether we should install teken as a library on any stock FreeBSD installation, but I can imagine people want to tinker around with it now and then. Create a /sys/teken/libteken, which holds a Makefile to install a shared library version of the terminal emulator, complete with a manpage. Also add Makefiles for the demo/stress applications, to build it against the shared library.

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+library implements the input parser of a 256-color xterm-like terminal.
+It converts a stream of UTF-8 encoded characters into a series of
+primitive drawing instructions that can be used by a console driver or
+terminal emulator to render a terminal application.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn teken_init
+function is used to initialize terminal state object
+.Fa t ,
+having type
+.Vt teken_t .
+The supplied
+.Vt teken_funcs_t
+structure
+.Fa funcs
+contains a set of callback functions, which are called when supplying
+data to
+.Fn teken_input .
+The
+.Fa thunk
+argument stores an arbitrary pointer, which is passed to each invocation
+of the callback functions.
+.Pp
+The
+.Vt teken_funcs_t
+structure stores the following callbacks:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+typedef struct {
+ tf_bell_t *tf_bell; /* Audible/visible bell. */
+ tf_cursor_t *tf_cursor; /* Move cursor to x/y. */
+ tf_putchar_t *tf_putchar; /* Put Unicode character at x/y. */
+ tf_fill_t *tf_fill; /* Fill rectangle with character. */
+ tf_copy_t *tf_copy; /* Copy rectangle to new location. */
+ tf_param_t *tf_param; /* Miscellaneous options. */
+ tf_respond_t *tf_respond; /* Send response string to user. */
+} teken_funcs_t;
+.Ed
+.Pp
+All callbacks must be provided, though unimplemented callbacks may some
+times be sufficient.
+The actual types of these callbacks can be found in
+.In teken.h .
+.Pp
+By default,
+.Fn teken_init
+initializes the
+.Vt teken_t
+structure to emulate a terminal having 24 rows and 80 columns.
+The
+.Fn teken_get_winsize
+and
+.Fn teken_set_winsize
+functions can be used to obtain and modify the dimensions of the
+terminal.
+.Pp
+Even though the cursor position is normally controlled by input of data
+through
+.Fn teken_input
+and returned by the
+.Fn tf_cursor
+callback, it can be obtained and modified manually using the
+.Fn teken_get_cursor
+and
+.Fn teken_set_cursor
+functions.
+The same holds for
+.Fn teken_get_curattr
+and
+.Fn teken_set_curattr ,
+which can be used to change the currently selected font attributes and
+foreground and background color.
+.Pp
+By default,
+.Nm
+emulates a white-on-black terminal, which means the default foreground
+color is white, while the background color is black.
+These defaults can be modified using
+.Fn teken_get_defattr
+and
+.Fn teken_set_defattr .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn teken_get_sequence
+function is a utility function that can be used to obtain escape
+sequences of special keyboard keys, generated by user input.
+The
+.Fa id
+parameter must be one of the
+.Dv TKEY_*
+parameters listed in
+.In teken.h .
+.Sh LEGACY FEATURES
+This library also provides a set of functions that shouldn't be used in
+any modern applications.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn teken_256to8
+function converts a color code to one of the 8 primary colors, allowing
+the terminal to be rendered on graphics hardware that only supports 8 or
+16 colors (e.g. VGA).
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn teken_get_defattr_cons25
+function obtains the default terminal attributes as a pair of foreground
+and background colors, using ANSI color numbering.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn teken_set_8bit
+function disables UTF-8 processing and switches to 8-bit character mode,
+which can be used to support character sets like CP437 and ISO-8859-1.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn teken_set_cons25
+function switches terminal emulation to
+.Dv cons25 ,
+which is used by versions of
+.Fx
+prior to 9.0.
+.Sh SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
+The
+.Fn tf_respond
+callback is used to respond to device status requests commands generated
+by an application.
+In the past, there have been various security issues, where a malicious
+application sends a device status request before termination, causing
+the generated response to be interpreted by applications such as
+.Xr sh 1 .
+.Pp
+.Nm
+only implements a small subset of responses which are unlikely to cause
+any harm.
+Still, it is advised to leave
+.Fn tf_respond
+unimplemented.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr ncurses 3 ,
+.Xr termcap 3 ,
+.Xr syscons 4 .
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+library appeared in
+.Fx 8.0 ,
+though it was only available and used inside the kernel.
+In
+.Fx 9.0 ,
+the
+.Nm
+library appeared in userspace.
