Changes: bug fixes, diff --color now produces output compatible with less -R.

------------------------------
* Noteworthy changes in release 3.4 (2016-08-08) [stable]
** New features
diff accepts two new options --color and --palette to generate
and configure colored output. --color takes an optional argument
specifying when to colorize a line: --color=always, --color=auto,
--color=never. --palette is used to configure which colors are used.
** Bug fixes
When binary files differ, diff now exits with status 1 as POSIX requires.
Formerly it exited with status 2.
Unless the --ignore-file-name-case option is used, diff now
considers file names to be equal only if they are byte-for-byte
equivalent. This fixes a bug where diff in an English locale might
consider two Asian file names to be the same merely because they
contain no English characters.
diff -B no longer generates incorrect output if the two inputs
each end with a one-byte incomplete line.
diff --brief no longer reports a difference for unusual identical files.
For example, when comparing a file like /proc/cmdline (for which the linux
kernel reports st_size of 0 even though it is not an empty file) to a
copy of that file's contents residing on a "normal" file system:
$ f=/proc/cmdline; cp $f k; diff --brief $f k
Files /proc/cmdline and k differ
** Performance changes
diff's default algorithm has been adjusted to output higher-quality
results at somewhat greater computational cost, as CPUs have gotten
faster since the algorithm was last tweaked in diffutils-2.6 (1993).

* List the info files directly in the PLIST.

* cmp and diff now conform to POSIX 1003.1-2001 (IEEE Std 1003.1-2001)
if the underlying system conforms to POSIX and if the _POSIX2_VERSION
environment variable is set to 200112. Conformance removes support
for `diff -NUM', where NUM is a number. Use -C NUM or -U NUM instead.
* cmp now supports trailing operands SKIP1 and SKIP2, like BSD cmp.
* cmp -i or --ignore-initial now accepts SKIP1:SKIP2 option value.
* New cmp option: -n or --bytes.
* cmp's old -c or --print-chars option has been renamed;
use -b or --print-bytes instead.
* cmp now outputs "byte" rather than "char" outside the POSIX locale.
* cmp -l's index column width now adjusts to fit larger (or smaller) files.
* cmp -l -s and cmp -s -l are not allowed. Use cmp -s or cmp -l instead.
* diff uses ISO 8601 style time stamps for output times (e.g. "2001-11-23
16:44:36.875702460 -0800") unless in the C or POSIX locale and the
-c style is specified.
* diff's -I and -F options use the regexp syntax of grep, not of Emacs.
* diff now accepts multiple context arguments, and uses their maximum value.
* New diff and sdiff options:
-E --ignore-tab-expansion
--strip-trailing-cr
* New diff options:
--from-file=FILE, --to-file=FILE
--ignore-file-name-case
--no-ignore-file-name-case
* New diff3 and sdiff option:
--diff-program=PROGRAM
* The following diff options are still accepted, but are no longer documented.
They may be withdrawn in future releases.
-h (omit; it has no effect)
-H (use --speed-large-files instead)
-L (use --label instead)
-P (use --unidirectional-new-file instead)
--inhibit-hunk-merge (omit; it has no effect)
* Recursive diffs now sort file names according to the LC_COLLATE locale
category if possible, instead of using native byte comparison.
* Diff printf specs can now use the "0" and "'" flags.
* The new sdiff interactive command `ed' precedes each version with a header.
* On 64-bit hosts, files larger than 2 GB can be compared.
* Some internationalization support has been added, but multibyte locales
are still not completely supported yet.
* Some diagnostics have been reworded slightly for consistency.
Also, `diff -D FOO' now outputs `/* ! FOO */' instead of `/* not FOO */'.
* The `patch' part of the manual now describes `patch' version 2.5.4.
* Man pages are now distributed and installed.
* There is support for DJGPP; see the 'ms' subdirectory and the files
m4/dos.m4 and */setmode.*.

Also lose restriction (only for SunOS).

- tuning of mk/bsd.pkg.mk:
removal of USE_GTEXINFO
INSTALL_INFO added to PLIST_SUBST
`${INSTALL_INFO}' replace `install-info' in target rules
print-PLIST target now generate `${INSTALL_INFO}' instead of `install-info'
