Can someone please fill me in on two questions?

1)  Why did the Q_SYNC and friends constants get changed?  I have old 
binaries that don't work anymore, and in fact, new binaries don't work 
either unless I update my sys/quota.h.

2)  Does quoatctl(Q_SYNC) still work with a NULL special (meaning sync 
all quotas)?  The man page has it listed, but it seems to be broken.

I'll provide a patch for the second, if someone wants to point out why 
the first was broken (braindead) and what the preferred solution is.

Thanks.

Tim
