 	The line that execs zmailnotify has an old-style path in it:
	
 	       #match "MAIL"
 	       #	case $instance
 	       #	match "pop"
 	       #		exec "/usr/athena/zmailnotify"
 	       #		exit
 	       #	endcase
 	       #	print "(Authentication: @bold("+$aval+"))\n"
 	       #	print substitute($default)
 	       #	put
 	       #	exit
	
	
 	What should have happened:
	
 	It should have "/usr/athena/bin/zmailnotify" instead.
	
Since zwgc uses execvp() to execute programs specified with exec, it is
sufficient to say:

	exec "zmailnotify"

An explicit path is not necessary.
