Quota and Q_SYNC - broken

Can someone please fill me in on two questions?

1) Why did the Q_SYNC and friends constants get changed? I have old
binaries that don't work anymore, and in fact, new binaries don't work
either unless I update my sys/quota.h.

2) Does quoatctl(Q_SYNC) still work with a NULL special (meaning sync
all quotas)? The man page has it listed, but it seems to be broken.

I'll provide a patch for the second, if someone wants to point out why
the first was broken (braindead) and what the preferred solution is.

Thanks.

Tim
