Add a comma (,) after "e.g." and "i.e.", or use English words
(man-pages(7) [package "manpages"]).
Abbreviation points should be protected (usually with the
non-printing, zero width character '\&') from being interpreted as an
end of sentence, if they are not, and that independent of their current
place on the line.
This is important when typing, as one does not usually know in
advance when the editor jumps to a new line.

Two-fonts macros are made for two or more arguments.
Remove space at end of lines in the files "term-utils/{script.1,
scriptlive.1, scriptreplay.1}".
Put "\-\-summary" to the correct indent in the file
"term-utils/script.1"

* let's assume that --pty is stable enough that we do not have to remove it ;-)
* add --pty to the runuser.1 man page

ENV_SUPATH and ENV_ROOTPATH are equivalent and ENV_ROOTPATH takes
precedence in both login and su. It makes no sense. More logical would be
precedence of ENV_SUPATH in su and ENV_ROOTPATH in login.

* usable with --login to whitelist specified environment variables
* the list is ignored for the core variables like HOME, SHELL, USER,
LOGNAME and PATH (su --login always resets these variables)
Note that su(1) requires password and after successful authentication
user has full control over the session, so he can set arbitrary
environment variables. The whitelist makes things more user friendly
only.
The patch removes unnecessary optimization when allocate environ[]. It
seems better to keep all in glibc hands and just reset the environment
array only.

Use the correct macro (I, B) for the font change of one argument, not
those that are used for alternating two fonts, like "BR", "IR", "RB",
or "RI".

Use consistent terminology for set-user-ID and set-group-ID bits.
There's much inconsistency in the pages. "suid",
"set-user-identifier", "setuid". Stick with one terminology,
"set-user-ID" and set-grout-ID, as suggested in man-pages(7).

This patch does only the following:
* Order SEE ALSO entries first by section name, then alphabetically
within section
* Adds one or two missing commas in SEE ALSO lists
* Removes one or two periods that were (inconsistently) used
at the end of SEE ALSO lists.

This patch does not change any su/runuser behaviour, code changes:
* don't use huge groups[NGROUPS_MAX]; the array has 256k, but we need
it only occasionally when -G/-g specified.
* the current code uses groups[0] for -g and the rest for -G, this patch adds
'gid' to remember -g argument to avoid memmove()
* add function add_supp_group() to simplify su_main()
* add note about -G and -g relation to the man pages (undocumented now)

These options allow to specify alternative groups. The command
su(1) has to be executed by root. The implementation is based on
Fedora runuser(1) command.
For example:
# su --group=kzak --supp-group=uuidd -
# id
uid=0(root) gid=1000(kzak) groups=0(root),985(uuidd),1000(kzak)
non-root user:
$ su --group=kzak -
su: only root can specify alternative groups

Converting coreutils info page to manual did not result as good
manual pages as writing almost completely new. Ludwig wrote the
text, Sami cleaned up groff syntax.

The manual page is almost one to one copy with GNU Coreutils 'su
invocation' info page. This manual also includes few examples, fix
to return values, hint about PAM configuration file, authors and see
also sections.
