Thanks to Olaf Hering <olh@suse.de> for this patch. It's possible now to
feed the -n option of udevinfo with a symlink.
I've also added a 'all' attribute, but no more text, it's all in the
included man page :)

Hmm, bk didn't checked in one file, maybe I edited it again as root.
Nevermind, here is the more complete version.
Here we switch the configs and man pages to the new attribute syntax.
Also the 'partition trick' is mentioned in udev.8
I think it's more clear visible now, that inside the brackets are user
supplied values used and not some magic keys handled:
'SYSFS_dev' is now 'SYSFS{dev}'
The old syntax is still supported.
