We would like to release this code.  I have sent queries asking about
interest in it, but have received no replies.

The code needs some debugging of course, and some cleaning to meet the
FSF "standards" document.  I did not do this port, and am reluctant to
spend a lot of time working over someone else's code unless I need to.

The current diffs should be available for anonymous uucp now, though I
haven't double-checked to make sure the archive works (I am not part
of the unix group at Dell).
