Major update to the xzgrep and other scripts based on the latest versions found from gzip CVS repository. configure will try to find a POSIX shell to be used by the scripts. This should ease portability on systems which have pre-POSIX /bin/sh. xzgrep and xzdiff support .xz, .lzma, .gz, and .bz2 files. xzmore and xzless support only .xz and .lzma files. The name of the xz executable used in these scripts is now correct even if --program-transform-name has been used.

Escape dashes in xzmore.1 A minus sign is larger, easier to see in a printout, and more likely to use the same glyph as ASCII hyphen-minus in a terminal than a hyphen. Since broken manual pagers do not find hyphens when the user searches for a hyphen-minus, minus signs are also easier to search for. So use minus signs instead of hyphens to render sample terminal output.
