I did not update the version tag because this is only minor fix to the manual page. Otherwise we would have several versions per day as this tool is still under construction...

performing an operating system upgrade. The idea for this script (including code fragments, variable names etc.) came from the FreeBSD mergemaster (by Douglas Barton). Unlike the FreeBSD mergemaster, this does not use CVS version tags to compare if the files need to be updated. Files are compared with /usr/bin/cmp as this is more reliable and the only way if the version numbers are same even though the files are different.
