Howdy!

  I was working with the ZGetWGPort function in libzephyr in an attempt to
persuade it to use /tmp/wg.uid.tty instead of /tmp/wg.uid (otherwise, multiple
logins to the same machine cause the file to get clobbered and then disappear
when the first of them logs out).

  However, it turned out after adjusting it that zwgc doesn't call ZGetWGPort!
All of the other clients that needs to know the port number do, but, despite
linking against libzephyr, zwgc has an internal routine get_zwgc_port_number()
that almost exactly duplicates the ZGetWGPort() library routine.  Is there
a specific reason it doesn't just use the library function?

Yours,
Jeremy.
