[src/trunk]: src/share/misc - Added:

[wiz <wiz%NetBSD.org@localhost>]

details:   https://anonhg.NetBSD.org/src/rev/c832a20e3a84
branches:  trunk
changeset: 784260:c832a20e3a84
user:      wiz <wiz%NetBSD.org@localhost>
date:      Wed Jan 23 12:35:06 2013 +0000

description:
- Added:
FSF, GPG, NIDS, NIPS, OOO, PHP,
RCS (now being doubled: one capitalized entry for the program name,
   one non capitalized entry for the general term),
SEO,
SFTP (3 times, with 3 different meanings),
SIR (in the meaning of ``signal-to-interference ratio''),
SPDIF (variant on S/PDIF),
TUI, WOM.

- Removed:
Empty line between the RCS ID and first acronym (not present in
   acronyms; may cause parsing issues in the future though, and
   causes trouble when sorting the file, so, to keep things
   consistent, remove it here instead of adding it in acronyms);
ADP (duplicate),
AWK (also in acronyms),
EOL (in the meaning of ``end of life''; also in acronyms),
FCFS (also in acronyms),
ICE (in the meaning of ``in-circuit emulator''; duplicate),
MP (in the meaning of ``multiprocessor''; combined with the equally
   named entry for ``multiprocessing''),
PERL (not an official acronym),
PIN (also in acronyms).

- augment / correct entries (more consistent use of ``{}'' and
  ``[]'', capitalization, spelling, typos, fix incorrect acronym
  translations, quoting, punctuation);
- sort entries, as well as the order within ``{}'' parts;
- remove explanations within ``()'' parts where those are unneccesary
  (this is an acronym list, not a dictionary) and, in one case,
  correct such explanation;
- white space fixes.

>From Bug Hunting.
