Subject:   Moving aout libs (part of aout->elf upgrade)

I have added an extra step in the aout->elf upgrade which attempts to
move aout libraries out of the elf library directories. This step is
performed before the first install, so you still have the option of
doing and aout-to-elf-build and not affecting your installed system.

If you choose to do the aout-to-elf-install, the upgrade will move
the aout libraries (including those in use!) provided that there are
no conflicts that would cause one library to over-write another.

If there is an out-of-date library relative to one already in the directory
that the old one would be moved to, you will be asked for confirmation before
it is deleted.

If there is a newer library that would be moved over an older version,
you will be asked for confirmation before the old one is replaced.

For those people who have already upgraded to elf, you can move your
libraries manually, or do a `make move-aout-libs' from the root
of the source tree.

You will need to edit ldconfig_paths in /etc/rc.conf and any other
places where ldconfig paths are set.
