David van Moolenbroek b89261ba01 Rename top(1) to mtop(1), import NetBSD top(1)
Due to differences in (mainly) measuring and accumulating CPU times,
the two top programs end up serving different purposes: the NetBSD
top is a system administration tool, while the MINIX3 top (now mtop)
is a performance debugging tool.  Therefore, we keep both.

The newly imported BSD top has a few MINIX3-specific changes.  CPU
statistics separate system time from kernel time, rather than kernel
time from time spent on handling interrupts.  Memory statistics show
numbers that are currently relevant for MINIX3.  Swap statistics are
disabled entirely.  All of these changes effectively bring it closer
to how mtop already worked as well.

.SH "HPUX 10 INFORMATION"
The process information layout has changed slightly since previous
versions. The CPU percentage column reports weighted cpu as
calculated directly by the kernel. The WCPU column is no longer
present in the output and a TTY column has been added to indicate
the name of the process's controlling terminal.
The definition of an
idle process has been relaxed to include those processes that have only
just gone to sleep.
This version of top does not display a per-cpu breakdown of processor
state. Perhaps a later version will add this sophistication across
all platforms.
The HP/UX 10 port has greatly benefitted from the diligent efforts
of the following individuals: John Haxby <john_haxby@hp.com>,
Rich Holland <holland@synopsys.com>, and <kevin@mcl.ucsb.edu>.
