Some comments on the 980101 snapshot which I couldn't resolve by
myself:

  - The new features of `strftime' are not documented, and
    src/docs/kb/wc202.txi doesn't mention them.  The added
    functionality is non-trivial, so I didn't want to glean it by
    guessing.

  - src/libc/crt0/crt0.S now puts `end' into the .data section instead
    of .text.  Why is that, and what, if any, are the implications of
    this change to programs which use it?

  - The new functions FSEXT_{get,set}_data: I think libc.inf should
    explain when are these useful.  Saying that _get is used to access
    a pointer stashed by _set doesn't give a clue, especially since
    there's no examples in the docs.

  - wc202.txi doesn't mention enhancements for itimer, djasm and redir.

  - vsscanf doesn't have any docs.
