1) would someone please compile utmpclean for netbsd
thanx

2) i've noticed that sometimes people have an (apparently) old
.zwgc.desc file, which references "/usr/athena/zmailnotify" instead of
"/usr/athena/bin/zmailnotify" or just "zmailnotify"
this causes them problems on ringworld...and on my machine
could the syspack be changed here for backwards compatability

3) also...if i get email with a line as such in the header:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

things like "show" choke on that line:
goody-budda : ~ --> show
