[PATCH] I made some more changes to the manpage of udev including:

Patch-From: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@access.unizh.ch>

- Move the description of the environment variables to a new section
  called  "ENVIRONMENT" (as stated in man(7))
- Pointer to the "official" udev homepage
- Fixes for various typos and whitespace damages
