Do you plan on doing something about programs which won't work when
you rename them, such as putting the real binary as foo.ucb.real and
making foo.ucb just exec it with the right argv? /usr/ucb/rlogin.ucb
on the decmips comes immediately to mind, for instance. (This
instance may be fixed in ultrix 4.x, I don't know.)
The vendor link idea will fail for the vendor rlogin/rsh (if it is not
the expected argv[0] it assumes that what was specified was a hostname).
For these two cases, it might just be better not to supply any links;
our rlogin/rsh falls back to using the vendor version upon failure.
