This update improves the implementation of the power function p() and
adds 3 new functions to the extended math library: min(), max(), and
i2rand().
(cherry picked from commit 0b4a06ab29a0da80f6cb5c99189054cb8e2f756c)
This update removes printing of a leading zero in scientific or
engineering output modes (which are an extended feature of this
implementation).

This version contains a fix for an issue that can affect complex
bc scripts that use multiple read() functions that receive input from
an interactive user. The same value could be returned multiple times.

This update fixes a few issues in history editing and the processing
of the "quit" function. The "quit" function will no longer cause bc
to exit when encountered in a script file (before any command from
the script has been executed).
New functions is_number(), is_string return 1 if the passed argument
is a number resp. a string. The asciify() function has been extended
to support the conversion of an array of numbers into a string.

This version adds support for command line editing and history using
the libedit or readline libraries in addition to the line editing
features available in previous versions.
The version in the base system is configured to use libedit.
This allows to choose between emacs and vi line editing commands and
to use command overrides via a ~/.editrc file.

This release assigns a default value to the internal program name
variable in case the program is invoked with argv[0] == NULL.
There was no security issue: the prevuous program version would have
been immediately terminated due to a NULL dereference.
This version adds options and functions that allow to print numbers
in the open interval (-1 .. 1) with or without a leading 0 digit.
Additionally, an option has been added to prevent line wrap and
allows to print arbitrarily long results on a single line.

Merge commit 2f57ecae4b
This is a new major release with a number of changes and extensions:
- Limited the number of temporary numbers and made the space for them
static so that allocating more space for them cannot fail.
- Allowed integers with non-zero scale to be used with power, places,
and shift operators.
- Added greatest common divisor and least common multiple to lib2.bc.
- Made bc and dc UTF-8 capable.
- Added the ability for users to have bc and dc quit on SIGINT.
- Added the ability for users to disable prompt and TTY mode by
environment variables.
- Added the ability for users to redefine keywords.
- Added dc's modular exponentiation and divmod to bc.
- Added the ability to assign strings to variables and array elements
and pass them to functions in bc.
- Added dc's asciify command and stream printing to bc.
- Added bitwise and, or, xor, left shift, right shift, reverse,
left rotate, right rotate, and mod functions to lib2.bc.
- Added the functions s2u(x) and s2un(x,n), to lib2.bc.

Update to version 4.0.0
This version fixes an issue (missing pop of top-of-stack value in the
"P" command of the dc program).
This issue did not affect the bc program, since it does not use dc as
an back-end to actually perform the calculations as was the case with
the traditional bc and dc programs.
The major number has been bumped due to Windows support that has been
added to this version. It does not correspond to a major change that
might affect FreeBSD.
This update changes the behavior of "-e" or "-f" in BC_ENV_ARGS:
Use of these options on the command line makes bc exit after executing
the given commands. These options will not cause bc to exit when
passed via the environment (but EOF in STDIN or -e or -f on the
command line will make bc exit as before).
The same applies to DC_ENV_ARGS with regard to the dc program.
This version fixes a regression with regard to tradtional behavior of the
non-standard FreeBSD option "-e". In the previous version "-e quit" caused
bc to exit before any computations had been performed, since all -e option
parameters were concatenated and parsed as a whole, with quit causing the
program to exit as soon as it was parsed. This version parses and executes
commands passed with -e one by one and only exits after all prior commands
have been executed.
This commit is not a SVN merge, since the vendor import had been performed
after the import to contrib. Instead the contents of contrib/bc has been
removed and the new version is copied over unchanged from vendor/bc/dist.
