* Version 5.0.1.
+ * src/dd.c (usage): Don't use `,' as the thousands separator
+ in e.g. 1,000,000 and 1,048,576. Instead, do this:
+ `SIZE may be ..., MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024 and so on...'
+ * src/df.c (usage): Likewise.
+ * src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
+ * src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
+
* Makefile.maint (syntax-check): Add another check.

Write an autoconf test to work around build failure in HPUX's 64-bit mode.
See notes in README -- and remove them once there's a work-around.
-after 5.0, change doc strings (like df, ls, etc) not to use `,'
-as thousands separator in e.g. 1,000,000. Instead, do this:
-
- SIZE may be (or may be an integer optionally followed by) one of following:
- kB 1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024 and so on for G, T, P, E, Z, Y.
-
Integrate use of sendfile, suggested here:

I don't plan to do that, since a few tests demonstrate no significant benefit.
