Seems like Convergent put in their own idea of what lp
should be like.  This includes leaving out lots of what lp
is supposed to do (including knowing the invoking user id).

The title is actually only left out of the lp interface
script, which is easy to fix.  The rest requires rebuilding
the real lp from a 5.0 or 5.2 source.
