It would be inadvisable to even use this as a reference.  style(9) has
been completely distroyed between revision 1.1 and 1.2.  Added to
that, the only functionality changes were combined with the
destylification to culminate into one truly undesirable delta.  Also,
the renice.c file is missing a few revisions made in FreeBSD.

It looks like NetBSD has added this functionality already, without
making hundreds of style mistakes. :)  If necessary, we could borrow
their code, but I suspect the change will be trivial enough as to not
require a reference. :)

Best regards,
