If they are for a partition and a whole device (common case)
they old message doesn't really cover the situation. So add
the "overlap" option to the text.
Also detect whether the device list was in mdadm.conf and
act accordingly.
It is much better for this sort of thing to be predictable
rather than depending on what devices exist, especially as
these days entries in /dev/ often don't pre-exist.
So make it always
/dev/mdX
for version0 superblocks.
Version1 are always /dev/md/NAME
If not 'ftw' is available, still allow openning of devices by dev number.
More recent version of uclibc support nftw, so add support to check
for that.
Make -assemble a bit more resilient to finding strange
information in superblocks.
Don't claim newly added spares are InSync!! (don't know why that
code was ever in there)
In 2.6.17 (and prior), the dev_number is ignored when a device
is added to an active array. Rather the first free number is used.
So we work around this by making sure we use the first free
number for dev_number.
Description...
While declaring variables in the middle of code withs with
newer gcc's it doesn't work with older, and it is arguably
less readable, so just do the right thing.

As version-0.90 superblock don't record the superblock
offset, it is possible for overlapping partitions,
or a partition that starts on a 64K boundary in the whole device
to result in mis-detection - one partition or device might
be detected where the other was intended.
To avoid this awkward possibility, we reject assembly attempts
which seem to have two devices that are different but have the
same version-0.90 superblock.
To avoid this problem altogether, switch to version-1 metadata.

Apparently there are license issues with openssl, so
just use sha1.c always. This means we can get rid of
SHA1.c

Have "#ifdef STATIC" in config.c, and the 'rmconf' target
was a mess.
Instead, create 'pwgr.c' with stub routines for those unavailable
when statically compiled, and include that in STATICOBJ

glibc 2.4 is pedantic on ignoring return values from fprintf, fwrite and
write, so now we check the rval and actually do something with it.
in the Grow.c case i only print a warning, since i don't think we can do
anything in case we fail invalidating those superblocks (is should never
happen, but then...)
