Ensure that the two version numbers in configure.ac remain in sync.

(ac_p_pkg, AC_INIT_PKG): Define.
(ac_p_ver, AC_INIT_VER): Define.

Fix tr so it no longer gets a failed assertion for [::] or [==].
(xmemdup): Rename from `substr' and rewrite to
take only pointer/length parameters.
(build_spec_list): Update sole caller.
Properly diagnose the invalid specs [::] and [==].
Pawel Prokop reported that `tr [::] _' elicits a failed assertion.

Add support for POSIX 1003.1-2001, which requires removal for
support of the obsolete `touch [-acm] MMDDhhmm[YY] FILE...' syntax.
(usage, main): Implement this.

Add support for POSIX 1003.1-2001, which requires removal for

* doc/coreutils.texi: Document this. (Also, document a similar
change to "touch", for fileutils).

(copy_reg): Don't treat errno==ENOENT as a special case.
(same_file_ok): Detect a case that would have lead to the errno==ENOENT
condition above (and a misleading diagnostic), and return 0 so we give
a diagnostic about the source and destination being the same file.
(copy_internal): Use an explicit test for errno==EXDEV to detect
that rename has failed because source and destination are on
different devices. This reverts part of a change from 1997-12-13,
and is to avoid letting a race condition evoke a bogus diagnostic.
Note that while POSIX has encouraged the errno==EXDEV test for
years, it was inadequate back in 1997. I'm hoping that many
more systems have conforming support these days.

Use notation compatible with SI and with IEC 60027-2.
For example, --block-size=1MB now means --block-size=1000000,
whereas --block-size=1MiB now means --block-size=1048576.
A trailing `B' now means decimal, not binary; this is a silent change.
-H or --si now outputs the trailing 'B', for consistency with this.
Programs now output trailing 'K' (not 'k') to mean 1024.
New df, du short option -B is short for --block-size.
You can omit an integer `1' before a block size suffix,
e.g. `df -BG' is equivalent to `df -B 1G' and to `df --block-size=1G'.
Document the above. Remove documentation
for obsolescent constructs MD, --kilobytes, -m or --megabytes.
