[PATCH] udev - man page update 

Hey it's not longer the "goal" to provide a dynamic dev directory,
we have just arrived. So I  change it to more self-confident words :)

I've also added the completly missing environment variables to the
man pages.

To stop the misuse of the PROGRAM= call paramenters, we better mention
its limitations.
