 Log Message:
 Update to 2.7. This is from Nicolas Joly via PR# 31529.
 And okayed by maintainer.
 
 Many changes, see CHANGELOG for all. Here are some highlights:
         * dmidecode.c: Add option -u, --dump. It disables decoding of the
           entries, raw dumps are displayed instead. This option is mainly
           intended for debugging.
         * vpddecode.c: Add option -u, --dump. It disables decoding of the
           VPD records, a raw dump is displayed instead. This option is
           mainly intended for debugging.
         * dmidecode.c: Add option -t, --type. It limits the output to
           the given type(s) of DMI entries.
         * dmiopt.c: Define keywords to be used with --type (instead of
           numeric values).
         * dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Add option -q, --quiet. It
           makes the output less verbose.
         * dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Add option -s, --string. It
           prints one selected DMI string instead of the regular output.
 
 This also installs AUTHORS, CHANGELOG, and README.
 And I added "@dirrm share/doc/dmidecode" to PLIST.
 
 patch-aa to use PKGMANDIR and also sets docdir.
