Subject: HEADS-UP:  change the way sysmerge(8) runs by default. Remove the
 '-a' switch (auto-mode) and make this behaviour the default. Add a new '-d'
 switch to get former default (full diff) mode.

General idea ok for several.
man page improvements from jmc@
ok jim@ oga@ sobrado@
ok sthen@ "sane defaults++ :)"
