Less-403

[Matthew Burgess]

New version. This includes the sigset_t patch, so that can be dropped now. From NEWS:

• Allow decimal point in number for % (percent) command.
  
• Allow decimal point in number for -j option (fraction of screen height).
  
• Make n command fetch previous pattern from history file on first search.
  
• Don't rewrite history file if it has not changed.
  
• Don't move to bottom of screen on first page.
  
• Don't output extraneous newlines, so copy & pasting lines from the output works better.
  
• The -c option has been made identical with the -C option.
  
• Allow "/dev/null" as synomym for "-" in LESSHISTFILE to indicate that no history file should be used.
  
• Search can now find text which follows a null byte, if the PCRE library is used, or if no-regex searching (ctrl-R) is used.
  
• Better compatibility with POSIX more specification.
  
• Make -f work for directories.
  
• Make "t" cmd traverse tags in the correct order.
  
• Allow a few binary characters in the input file before warning that the file is binary.
  
• Don't warn that file is binary if it merely contains ANSI color sequences and -R is in effect.
  
• Update Unicode character tables.
  
• Support DESTDIR in Makefile.
  
• Fix bug when filename contains certain shell metacharacters such as "$".
  
• Fix bug when resizing the window while waiting for input from a pipe.
  
• Fix configure bugs.
