1) be stricter which number of arguments is accepted (1 or 2)
2) basename already returns a pointer to "." is argv[0] is ""
3) No need to check for *p != '/', because basename() only returns
a string beginning with '/' which has length 1, so if strlen(p)
== 1, the only way for suffix to be "evaluated" is for off to
be > 0, being equal to suffix being "", but "" != "/".
4) don't calculate strlen twice for each string. Store it in a
ssize_t and check if it's > 0.
Okay, so why another section?
The finished-section applies to general feature-completeness and
manual status. It somehow is not an indicator for general code-
clarity, so the audited-column reflects a thorough audit of the
underlying code and optimization.
Take a look at the upcoming basename(1)-patch for an example on
how this goes.

some (maybe) interesting info:

- Make globals static
- Fix a comment
- Change some data types
- Rearrange struct members from largest to smallest
(no affect due to small structs, good practice)
Before removing bit fields:
$ size find
text data bss dec hex filename
16751 968 48 17767 4567 find
After removing bit fields:
$ size find
text data bss dec hex filename
16527 968 68 17563 449b find
This is an example where bit fields uses more memory
than integers or char. There is going to be only one
gflags struct, so the waste in instructions is bigger
than the space saved by bit fields. In the case of Permarg,
Sizearg, Execarg there is only one bit field, so at least
one unsigned is used, so there is no any gain.
