and mark it as finished in README.
One small rationale on the way the manpage is set up: Looking at
the coreutils manpage, it does not invite to be a quick reference
guide, whereas I wrote this manpage to be short and concise in regard
to the information the advanced user needs.
No one needs to explain what an octal number is. That's not part of
the scope of this manpage.
Also, nobody wants to read a block of text just to find out how
to build an octal mode string.
It actually makes the binaries smaller, the code easier to read
(gems like "val == true", "val == false" are gone) and actually
predictable in the sense of that we actually know what we're
working with (one bitwise operator was quite adventurous and
should now be fixed).
This is also more consistent with the other suckless projects
around which don't use boolean types.
continue processing files if a chmod on a file in a series failed, but return with an error status code.

- for octal input: reset mode to 0.
- take umask into account.
- make '=rwx' etc work.
- we wont support crazy but valid modes like "a+rw,g=x,o=g"
- uudecode: use parsemode, mask is 0.
