Fix Savannah bug #33384.

Fix Savannah bug #18227 (-ls doesn't print device major/minor).

* lib/listfile.c (list_file): check HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_RDEV
instead of HAVE_ST_RDEV, fixing this bug. HAVE_ST_RDEV was

2000.

Implement xargs --process-slot-var.

* xargs/xargs.c (set_slot_var): New function; sets an environment
variable to the index of the entry in pids[] that represents the
relevant child process. This can be used in rudimentary load
distribution systems.

--process-slot-var).
(enum LongOptionIdentifier): Unique identifiers for long options
with no short option equivalent (--process-slot-var is the first).
(longopts): Add --process-slot-var.
(add_proc): return the index within pids[] that we selected.
(main): Pass &option_index to getopt_long (option_index is a new
variable) in order to identify which long option was passed.
Handle --process-slot-var.
(prep_child_for_exec): Call set_slot_var.
(usage): Mention --process-slot-var.

Fix bug #14386: updatedb relies on mktemp, which is not portable.

the possible absence of mktemp. We now create the file list and
the bigrams file in a temporary directory. Also add some quoting
for a few shell variables. Update the copyright years.

uses the old database format, in order to exercise our mktemp
replacement.

for the new test.

file.
