There exist a few filters that help tapes streams by buffering IO and
allowing reads to overlaps with writes under Unix. Most of these filters
rely on relatively unportable features, for example SYSV like shared
memory.
team is a filter that runs essentially unchanged on any Unix version, as
it relies only on features present in V7. A number of team processes
(team members) share a common input fd and a common output fd, and they
take turns at reading from the former and writing to the latter; they
synchronize by using a ring of pipes between them, where a "read-enable"
and a "write-enable" token circulate.
The team source is GPL'ed, and it comes with no warranty.
misc/team: Fix compiler complaints
The code used a very old "all arguments are compatible with int"
method for a varargs message function. Convert it to <stdarg.h>.
While at it, replace a few private library function declarations by
their appropriate header file includes.
MASTER_SITES cleanup.
- Replace ${MASTER_SITE_FOO} with FOO.
- Merge MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR into MASTER_SITES when possible. (This means 99.9%
of the time.)
- Remove occurrences of MASTER_SITE_LOCAL when no subdirectory was present and
no hint of what it should be was present.
- Fix some logic.
- And generally, make things more simple and easy to understand.
While there, add magic values to the FESTIVAL, GENTOO, GIMP, GNUPG, QT and
SAMBA macros.
Also, replace some EXTRACT_SUFX occurences with USES=tar:*.

Clean up historical baggage, and move the old local distfiles that
used to live under ${MASTER_SITE_LOCAL}/asami/LOCAL_PORTS to my own
public_distfiles.
No version changes involved.
Fix `off_t unsigned' that used to be a stylistic issue but now became
a syntax error lately.
This fix is different from the one mentioned in the PR, but confirmed
to work correctly at least on smaller files/devices (i don't have a 2
GB device to test against right now).
