From 6f0e178368af9e359e91713a3dc606a6a05ed06f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: keni <keni>
Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:56:59 +0000
Subject: [PATCH] more SYSCF and related bits - cleanup and features
 infrastructure for "system options" - things currently specified at build 
 time that should be changeable at install time or run time but not really 
 under user control generalize contact info so it can be localized and it
 doesn't have to be  an email address move recently introduced WIZARDS into
 sysopt drop bogus OPTIONS=wizards possibility new function
 build_english_list() to comma-ize and add 'or' from a whitespace separated
 list: A.  A or B.  A, B, or C. syscf file now handles: WIZARDS SUPPORT
 RECOVER  SUPPORT specifies local support information  RECOVER will eventually
 supply port-specific and/or localized info on how   to run recover (or get it
 run for you). Note: in sys/msdos I changed sys.o (generated from pcsys.c) to
 pcsys.o Note: sys/msdos/Makefile.GCC has 2 rules for sys.o (now pcsys.o)
