I noticed one instance of this while looking at the code the other day,
and after a quick grep, realized it happened a *lot*! One of the many
frustrating things about the English language is that we use apostrophes
to make pretty much everything possessive *except* the pronoun "it".
In that case, we use "its". "It's" is reserved for the contraction
meaning "it is" or "it has".
This patch perform simple fixes to the man pages and tool help page:
- minor style updates, to get cleaner pages
- option re-ordering, to have them in alphabetic order (easier to search for)
- consistency updates for descriptions and number of dash
- spell-checking
The biggest changes are:
- wmagnify: the option 'vdisplay' was not documented at all;
- getstyle: the list of attributes that are taken for the Style are now
described in their own section to clarify the page;
- setstyle: the help page left thinking that the file argument was
optional, which is not the case;
- wdread: as the Exit Code may be useful, and it is not unusable, it is
now documented;
- wmgenmenu: added information about how the content of the menu is
generated;
- wmsetbg: added a section about dithering/best-match because as nowadays
most screens are in True Color, the reason for the option may not be clear.

As reported by Milan Čermák, using this variable breaks compilation on
Solaris, because it is a hack which is not standard. To ensure portability,
we now rely on main's argv[0] which is always available.

This is the correct way to tell that a function takes no
arguments, because an empty parameter list tells the compiler
that it is not yet defined, and is tolerated only for
compatibility with very old C compilers for whom prototypes
were not yet a defined language element.
Autoconf uses multiple levels of variables when defining paths. For
example, ${datadir} by default is ${datarootdir}, which by default is
${prefix}/share, which by default is /usr/local. Substituting from
./configure, as is done by AC_DEFINE or AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED, does not
expand all these variables. This was causing some of our defines to have
garbage like "${prefix}/share/pixmaps" rather than the intended
"/usr/local/share/pixmaps".
The solution is to generate the files needing these paths from the
Makefile rather than from ./configure, because make does fully expand
all those levels.

- add new wglobaldefaultspathfordomain() to wings (replaces several
hand-rolled individual implementations in utils/)
- make all of 'em handle -h|--help, -v|--version
- try making them not to nothing silently
- change various ways of knowing thyselves to using __progname
- generally try to make them feel similar (NOT right, similar --
right is a completely different matter)
for arq in `git ls-files *.c`; do
echo $arq;
indent -linux -l115 $arq;
done
The different line break at 115 columns is because
I use a widescreen monitor :-)
- Separated the font caches for normal fonts and fontsets in WINGs (they can
have the same names and collide in the cache giving unwanted results)
- Updated the years in the copyright notices
