[DTrace-devel] [PATCH 00/14] gentoo, manpage, and assorted other small fixes

Most of these are bugs reported by Gentoo, but their request for a
dtprobed(8) manpage triggered a sweep of the dtrace manpage too, plus
a fix to a rather unfortunate millisecs-versus-sedcs bug which caused
us to wait for an hour and a half for a dtprobed parser child timeout
rather than the intended five seconds.

The only potentially contentious ones are libsystemd (quite a lot of
code, and not ours, but it's BSD-0-licensed and I took out the most
ridiculously overkill parts), and the last two, which drop apparently
redundant markup from the manpages whose purpose I'm not clear on but
which seems to be ancient and is probably working around bugs in old
Solaris troff or something. We can probably assume groff by this point,
it's been the only maintained troff for decades.

Nick Alcock (14):
  No longer depend on libsystemd
  pkgconfig: drop spaces in variable decls
  configure, build: make valgrind optional
  build: substitute LIBDIR in pkg-config files
  probe: get the size of the hash-lookup key right
  configure: fix dreadful behaviour of MANDIR / --mandir
  man: the synopsis is ended with .YS, not .SY
  man: use \- for option dashes, not -
  man: drop blank lines
  man: fix blank line in environment variables list
  dtprobed: fix parser child timeout
  man: add manpage for dtprobed(8)
  man: drop double-\fB at the start of every option line
  man: \fP-ize
