The default epoch of the FS is 1950. It would be nice to have it updated to 2000.

The tag still includes the patch level, `.0`.
* FS_DISPLAY_SERVER now defaults to on
* FS_DISPLAY_SERVER_CONFIRM_TERMINATE added, defaults to on
Averaging and filtering description corrected/improved.
Reset clipped count when going to shadow average
These value don't appear clipped as a result, but still included in clip count.
This improves the no diode parade of lights for filtering.
negative clipping is in foreground color
positive red clipping is foreground white
positive Y/G clipping Foregroud is black
invalid is black on cyan
Display too large values with clipping
Bk on gn/yl/cy; wh on rd/bl
Cyan is invalid
Sign doesn't matter for clipping colors
Blue for all resets
Needed for some "xterm -rv" to get normal clipping/invalid colors
Display 'tpi=0'. Apparently this might happen during a firmware reload.
This clears up some left over fields if the mode has changed.
The IF modes were not normally adjustable, if:
* one IF was selected before configuration is set
* one IF was selected before any IF had been displayed

Now modes are correctly adjustable for these cases.
If a different value had been requested, a warning is issued. A polarity of 0
is necessary to place the TPI values in the expected positions for decoding.

Recent versions of git (including 2.30.2 in FSL11) balk if the user
doesn't own the directory. In this case, verifying the version tag
prevented running 'make install' if 'root' did not own the directory.
That has been fixed.

As a bonus: now 'root' can only run 'make install' and a non-'root'
user cannot.

Another bonus: an incorrectly formatted directory name from an archive
is now detected and reported.

Revert "Remove -b/-f, now controlled by FS_DISPLAY_SERVER"

This reverts commit 1855a87.

This caused an extraneous '(  -4)' to be included in the error
message.

This is a good idea.

One complication is that drudg is imported from another package, sked. The maintainer (@gipson55) of that package would probably need to make the change. I will pass that up to him (he should see this comment). We would also want a simple script to change skedf.ctl to enable epoch 1950 as the default for anyone who depends on the old epoch and hasn't done that already. We do that kind of thing all time for the installation of new versions, so it should be easy.

Another issue is whether we would need a control file option, maybe in equip.ctl, to select what the default epoch is for the source=... command. I would have to think about that.
