If d/x is a directory and x a file, "ln x d/" now reports an error
instead of incorrectly creating a link to d/x/x.
Fixes for "nice":
If it fails to lower the nice value due to lack of permissions,
it goes ahead and runs the command anyway, as POSIX requires.
It no longer incorrectly reports an error if the current nice
value happens to be -1.
It no longer assumes that nice values range from -20 through 19.
It now consistently adjusts out-of-range nice values to the
closest values in range; formerly it sometimes reported an error.
ptx now diagnoses invalid values for its --width=N (-w)
and --gap-size=N (-g) options.
