WARNS=2 cleanup, ANSIfication, manpage mdoc(7) cleanup.
Once again, as explained in my messages to -audit, the ANSIfication comes as part of the preparation to add a new -d command-line flag to send output to stdout/stderr. That commit will come in a week, pending any further comments/objections. For those who have missed the -audit mails, it's at http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/bsd/rarpd/usr.sbin-rarpd-d.patch Asbestos suit: on ;) Reviewed by: dd, silence on -audit MFC after: 1 month
