dash wasn't running software out of lockers properly (it was adding
/mit/lockername/unknownbin to the path).  I've made the following
changes to dash:

	* In Xj.defs, I've added definitions for NetBSD and three of
	  the CPUs that NetBSD runs on (i386, m68k, sparc).

	* In Jets.h, I added definitions for Linux, the above three
	  flavors of NetBSD, and the HP.

	* In dash.c, I added support for the %B expansion in diretory
	  names (borrowing from the Athena source tree).  I also
	  enabled the POSIX definition for NetBSD systems.

	* In compile_menu.c and Menu.c (which contain duplicated
	  code), I added support for the five new platforms (allowing
	  "-linux" and "-inbsd", for instance, and adding the five new
	  platforms to the default mask).

	* In Dash.menus, I replaced http://www.mit.edu/ with
	  http://www.mit.edu:8001/.

Everything appears to work properly on NetBSD/i386 with these changes,
so I've installed them in the system packs for the 1.1 install.
