[HEADS-UP]: Unified diffs in periodic/security email

[Joseph Koshy]

As of  2004/09/23 02:00:51 freefall time, the default output format
for 'diff' output in
-current from periodic(8) is now "-b -u".   A knob 
'daily_status_security_diff_flags'  has
been added (see periodic.conf(5)) for users who wish to customize
their diff output
further.
