And there was no other feedback. So, barring objections, I will
change the plan to:
March 15: Rename xscreensaver to sipb-xscreensaver on Linux. Create
a script "xscreensaver" for Linux which spews a note about the name
change (and does not run sipb-xscreensaver).
June 15: Remove the Linux xscreensaver script, as well as the
Solaris and IRIX "xscreensaver doesn't work here" scripts.
