setting errno and then not exiting isn't safe

doing a chmod on a directory causing a cycle is probably the
right thing to do

check for fts_read error

better wording

do some more error checking on the octal value

POSIX 1003.2B/D9 symbolic links

handle all of the 'weird' strings
check only the first two chars, so that long perm specs (e.g. "-xr") are OK.
From: "Chris G. Demetriou" <cgd@postgres.Berkeley.EDU>

explain what they are

handle first argument of -r,o=rw, for example

don't set FTS_NOSTAT, because don't want to "chmod" symbolic links
From: Theo Deraadt <deraadt@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu>

4.4BSD snapshot (revision 8.1)

use err(3) functions, minor cleanups

on second thought, make it symlink(7)

add symlin(1)

Added -Hh documentation.

Added -Hh options.

fts_statb -> fts_statp

don't permit illegal file modes; lots of minor ANSI/cleanup

.Os change

add POSIX/IEEE contribution notice

fts(3) now sets errno correctly, FTS_DNX no longer exists

upgrade to new -mdoc macros & rip out -f flag
