Subject: top(1) patches to display sleep event

I've modified top to display the event a process is sleeping on. I
find this a bit more informative than the "sleep" message that top
normally displays.

The diffs are available from:

	ftp://ftp.orthanc.com/lyndon/

The patch should work with any 4.4BSD derived kernel (i.e. that has
the p_wmesg field in the kernel proc struct). It's known to work
with BSD/OS 2.0, although the line numbers in the diff will be wrong.

Enjoy.
