build: Move all path specification to global.mk
It's not possible to evaluate directory variables at configure time, even with eval. Move all preprocessor definitions to DEFS in global.mk. Note that this also required changing the substitution mechanism in the manual pages, which have been changed to source a generated config.man fragment, which is sourced using the .so directive, and the manual page generated using soelim(1). The boilerplate for the authors and copyright sections has also been split out at the same time.

+.RB [ COMMAND " [ " ARG1 " [ " ARG2 " [ " ARGn ]]]]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBcsbuild\fP allows the user to run a command or a login shell in a chroot
+environment. If no command is specified, a login shell will be started in the
+user's home directory inside the chroot.
+.PP
+The command is one or more arguments which will be run in the user's default
+shell using its \fI\-c\fP option. As a result, shell code may be embedded
+in this argument. If multiple command options are used, they are concatenated
+together, separated by spaces. Users should be aware of the shell quoting
+issues this presents, and should use \fBschroot\fP if necessary, which does not
+have any quoting issues.
+.PP
+The directory the command or login shell is run in depends upon the context.
+See \fI\-\-directory\fP option below for a complete description.
+.PP
+This version of csbuild is a compatibility wrapper around the
+.BR schroot (1)
+program. It is provided for backward compatibility with the csbuild
+command-line options, but schroot is recommended for future use. See the
+section \[lq]\fIMigration\fP\[rq] below for help migrating an existing csbuild
+configuration to schroot. See the section \[lq]\fIIncompatibilities\fP\[rq]
+below for known incompatibilities with older versions of csbuild.
+.PP
+If no chroot is specified, the chroot name or alias \[oq]default\[cq] will be
+used as a fallback. If using the configuration in \fI\*[CSBUILD_CONF]\fP, the
+first chroot in the file is the default.
+.SH OPTIONS
+\fBcsbuild\fP accepts the following options:
+.SS Basic options
+.TP
+.BR \-h ", " \-\-help
+Show help summary.
+.TP
+.BR \-a ", " \-\-all
+Select all chroots.
+.TP
+.BR \-c ", " \-\-chroot=\fIchroot\fP
+Specify a chroot to use. This option may be used multiple times to specify
+more than one chroot, in which case its effect is similar to \fI\-\-all\fP.
+.TP
+.BR \-l ", " \-\-list
+List all available chroots.
+.TP
+.BR \-i ", " \-\-info
+Print detailed information about the specified chroots. Note that earlier
+versions of csbuild did not include this option.
+.TP
+.BR \-p ", " \-\-path
+Print location (path) of the specified chroots.
+.TP
+.BR \-\-config
+Print configuration of the specified chroots. This is useful for testing that
+the configuration in use is the same as the configuration file. Any comments
+in the original file will be missing. Note that earlier versions of csbuild
+did not include this option.
+.TP
+.BR \-d ", " \-\-directory=\fIdirectory\fP
+Change to \fIdirectory\fP inside the chroot before running the command or login
+shell. If \fIdirectory\fP is not available, csbuild will exit with an error
+status.
+.IP
+The default behaviour is as follows (all directory paths are inside the
+chroot). Unless the \fI\-\-preserve\-environment\fP option is used to preserve
+the environment, the login shell or command will run in the user's home
+directory, or \fI/\fP if the home directory is not available. When the
+\fI\-\-preserve\-environment\fP option is used, it will attempt to use the
+current working directory, again falling back to \fI/\fP if it is not
+accessible. If none of the directories are available, csbuild will exit with
+an error status.
+.TP
+.BR \-d ", " \-\-preserve\-environment
+Preserve the user's environment inside the chroot environment. The default is
+to use a clean environment; this option copies the entire user environment and
+sets it in the session.
+.TP
+.BR \-q ", " \-\-quiet
+Print only essential messages.
+.TP
+.BR \-v ", " \-\-verbose
+Print all messages. Note that earlier versions of csbuild did not include this
+option.
+.TP
+.BR \-V ", " \-\-version
+Print version information.
+.PP
+Note that earlier versions of csbuild did not provide long options.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The csbuild configuration file, \fI\*[CSBUILD_CONF]\fP, used by earlier versions
+of csbuild, has the following format:
+.IP \[bu]
+\[oq]#\[cq] starts a comment line.
+.IP \[bu]
+Blank lines are ignored.
+.IP \[bu]
+Chroot definitions are a single line containing an \f[CBI]identifier\fP,
+\f[CBI]path\fP, and an optional \f[CBI]personality\fP separated by whitespace.
+.IP \[bu]
+The first chroot is also the default chroot.
+.PP
+An example file:
+.PP
+.RS
+\f[CR]# Example comment\fP
+.br
+\f[CR]\fP
+.br
+\f[CR]sarge /srv/chroot/sarge\fP
+.br
+\f[CR]sid /srv/chroot/sid linux32\fP
+.br
+.RE
+.PP
+This file defines a chroot called \[oq]sarge\[cq], located at
+\fI/srv/chroot/sarge\fP, and a second chroot called \[oq]sid\[cq], located at
+\fI/srv/chroot/sid\fP. The second chroot uses the \[oq]linux32\[cq]
+personality, which allows a 32-bit chroot to be used on a 64-bit system.
+\[oq]sarge\[cq] is the default chroot, because it was listed first, which means
+if the \fI\-c\fP option is omitted this chroot will be used.
+.SH INCOMPATIBILITIES
+.SS Debian csbuild prior to version 0.99.0
+.IP \[bu]
+Log messages are worded and formatted differently.
+.IP \[bu]
+The parsing of \fI\*[CSBUILD_CONF]\fP uses a smaller list of allowed whitespace
+characters (space and tab), which may cause a parse error during tokenising if
+the file contains odd characters as separators, such as carriage returns,
+vertical tabs and form feeds.
+.IP \[bu]
+.BR su (1)
+is no longer used to run commands in the chroot; this is done by csbuild
+internally. This change may cause subtle differences. If you find an
+incompatibility, please report it so it may be corrected.
+.IP \[bu]
+csbuild provides a restricted subset of the functionality implemented by
+\fBschroot\fP, but is still schroot underneath. Thus csbuild is still subject
+to schroot security checking, including PAM authentication and authorisation,
+and session management, for example, and hence may behave slightly differently
+to older csbuild versions in some circumstances.
+.SS DSA csbuild
+Machines run by the Debian System Administrators for the Debian Project have a
+\fBcsbuild-dsa\fP package which provides an alternate csbuild implementation.
+.IP \[bu]
+All the above incompatibilities apply.
+.IP \[bu]
+This version of csbuild has incompatible command-line options, and while some
+of those options are supported or have equivalent options by a different name,
+the \fI\-c\fP option is not required to specify a chroot, and this version of
+csbuild cannot implement this behaviour in a backward-compatible manner
+(because if \fI\-c\fP is omitted, the default chroot is used). DSA csbuild
+uses the first non-option as the chroot to use, only allowing one chroot to be
+used at once.
+.IP \[bu]
+This version of csbuild has an incompatible format for \fIcsbuild.conf\fP.
+While the first two fields are the same, the remaining fields are an optional
+\f[CBI]users\fP, a list of users permitted to access the chroot, instead of the
+\f[CI]personality\fP field allowed by this version. If access restrictions are
+needed, please use \fI\*[SCHROOT_CONF]\fP and add the allowed users there, as
+shown in \[lq]\fIMigration\fP\[rq] below.
+.SH MIGRATION
+To migrate an existing \fBcsbuild\fP configuration to \fBschroot\fP, perform
+the following steps:
+.IP 1
+Dump the csbuild configuration in schroot keyfile format to
+\fI\*[SCHROOT_CONF]\fP.
+.PP
+.RS
+\f[CR]# \f[CB]csbuild --config >> \*[SCHROOT_CONF]
+.br
+.RE
+.PP
+.IP 2
+Edit \fI\*[SCHROOT_CONF]\fP to add access to the users and/or groups which are to
+be allowed to access the chroots, and make any other desired changes to the
+configuration. See
+.BR schroot.conf (5).
+.IP 3
+Remove \fI\*[CSBUILD_CONF]\fP, so that csbuild will subsequently use
+\fI\*[SCHROOT_CONF]\fP for its configuration.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+\f[CR]$ \f[CB]csbuild \-l\fP\fP
+.br
+\f[CR]Available chroots: sarge [default], sid\fP
+.br

+.br

+\f[CR]$ \f[CB]csbuild \-c sid\fP\fP
+.br
+\f[CR]I: [sid chroot] Running login shell: \[lq]/bin/bash\[rq]\fP
+.br
+\f[CR]$ \fP
+.br
+.LP
+Use \fI\-\-\fP to allow options beginning with \[oq]\-\[cq] or \[oq]\-\-\[cq]
+in the command to run in the chroot. This prevents them being interpreted as
+options for csbuild itself. Note that the top line was echoed to standard
+error, and the remaining lines to standard output. This is intentional, so
+that program output from commands run in the chroot may be piped and redirected
+as required; the data will be the same as if the command was run directly on
+the host system.
+.SH TROUBLESHOOTING
+If something is not working, and it's not clear from the error messages what is
+wrong, try using the \fB\-\-debug=\fP\fIlevel\fP option to turn on debugging
+messages. This gives a great deal more information. Valid debug levels are
+\[oq]none\[cq], and \[oq]notice\[cq], \[oq]info\[cq], \[oq]warning\[cq] and
+\[oq]critical\[cq] in order of increasing severity. The lower the severity
+level, the more output.

+list:

+.SH BUGS
+On the \fBmips\fP and \fBmipsel\fP architectures, Linux kernels up to and
+including at least version 2.6.17 have broken
+.BR personality (2)
+support, which results in a failure to set the personality. This will be seen
+as an \[lq]Operation not permitted\[rq] (EPERM) error. To work around this
+problem, set \f[CI]personality\fP to \[oq]undefined\[cq], or upgrade to a more
+recent kernel.
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+\f[BI]\*[CSBUILD_CONF]\fP
+The system-wide \fBcsbuild\fP chroot definition file. This file must be owned
+by the root user, and not be writable by other. If present, this file will be
+used in preference to \fI\*[SCHROOT_CONF]\fP.
+.TP
+\f[BI]\*[SCHROOT_CONF]\fP
+The system-wide \fBschroot\fP definition file. This file must be owned by the
+root user, and not be writable by other. It is recommended that this file be
+used in preference to \fI\*[CSBUILD_CONF]\fP, because the chroots can be used
+interchangeably with schroot, and the user and group security policies provided
+by schroot are also enforced.
