What I've implemented:
-s option to supply a signature, or to override zwrite-signature. (-s ""
is the same as not having zwrite-signature set)
All notices have a signature field (which may be simply \0, if there is
no signature). "From: " has been punted.
When sending class Message, the default format is the same as that
currently in the standard zephyr.desc. Other classes have the Class
$class, instance $instance format.
The new /etc/athena/zephyr.desc will simply display $default for
messages.
Net effect:
1) users with their own .zephyr.desc files will see essentially the same
effect they see now, except that there will be no "From: " in the
message.
2) users without .zephyr.desc files will see the From: field filled in
with zwrite-signature and $sender (from the new zwrite). Old zwrite
will display as Class Message, Instance ...
