* Consistently misspell built-in as builtin.
* Add a builtin(1) manpage and create builtin(1) MLINKS for all shell
builtin commands for which no standalone utility exists. These MLINKS
replace those that were created for csh(1).
* Add appropriate xrefs for builtin(1) to the csh(1) and sh(1) manpages,
as well as to the manpages of standalone utilities which are supported
as shell builtin commands in at least one of the shells. In such
manpages, explain that similar functionality may be provided as a
shell builtin command.
* Improve sh(1)'s description of the cd builtin command. Csh(1) already
describes it adequately. Replace the cd(1) manpage with a builtin(1)
MLINKS link.
* Clean up some mdoc problems: use Xr instead of literal "foo(n)"; use
Ic instead of Xr for shell builtin commands.
* Undo English contractions.

Obtained from: Basic SIGINT fix from Bruce Evans
Removed explicit dependencies of foo.o on foo.c. These were mainly
placeholders for comments about missing dependencies of tools objects
on headers. This problem needs to be handled more generally.
urgent need is when you run sh around a program that intentionally
uses SIGQUIT/SIGINT for asynchronous events, i.e. $EDITOR started from
system(2), like many mailers do. This fixes PR bin/1206 and possibly
bin/4241.
The solution committed has been tested for a large number of possible
cases (see recent discussion on cvs-committers). I completed a make
world, made sure 'make world' is interruptable and used the changed
/bin/sh as a login shell all day, including job control and using
SIGQUIT-catching programs (to write this message :-).

more bogus by returning a semantically different value after calling
siginterrupt(). Avoid these problems by not returning a value.
