[procps] procps-3.2.2

[<pro...@li...>]

[ANNOUNCE] procps 3.2.2

This release contains many small changes, including: CFLAGS handling,
README section for packaging, SuSE IA-64 compile, NetBSD-like "ps k",
new sysctl options and error handling, more changes to top for
unusual terminals, and sub-second intervals for watch.

Build output with gcc 3.5 would be appreciated.

For those of you still upgrading from procps 2.0.xx releases,
you can expect:

* ps fully supports thread display (H, -L, m, -m, and -T)
* ps can display NSA SELinux security contexts
* top can show CPU usage for IO-wait, IRQ, and softirq
* can set $PS_FORMAT to choose your own default ps format
* better width control ("ps -o pid,wchan:42,args")
* width of ps PID column adjusts to your system
* vmstat lets you choose units you like: 1000, 1024, 1000000...
* top can sort by any column (old sort keys available too)
* top can select a single user to display
* top can be put in multi-window mode and/or color mode
* vmstat has the -s option, as found on UNIX and BSD systems
* vmstat has the -f option, as found on UNIX and BSD systems
* watch doesn't eat the first blank line by mistake
* vmstat uses a fast O(1) algorithm on 2.5.xx kernels
* pmap command is SunOS-compatible
* vmstat shows IO-wait time
* pgrep and pkill can find the oldest matching process
* sysctl handles the Linux 2.5.xx VLAN interfaces
* ps has a new "-F" format (very nice, like DYNIX/ptx has)
* ps with proper BSD process selection
* better handling of very long uptimes
* watch allows sub-second intervals
