It contains an updated mkswap (untested - please complain
if I did something wrong) and a rewritten mkswap.8.
Thanks to Andreas Neuper the fdisk included now also
understands SGI disk labels.
Comments are welcome (also about things not compiling
under very new or very old libraries).
[I was somewhat disappointed by the new swapspace code
in 2.1.117. On the one hand it is incompatible with
the old code, so that one cannot easily use the same
partition as (large) swap space under 2.1 and (smaller)
under 2.0. On the other hand the improvement is not
very large. Now a swap partition can be up to 2 GB.
(Used to be 1/8 GB on i386, 1/2 GB on alpha.)]
