[bug-mailutils] [PATCHES] various collected patches for comsatd

[Damon Harper]

i think i'm finally finished hacking up comsatd - it's now functioning
smoothly as i want it to.

i've created a few more fixes for problems i found in comsatd, and
revamped / fixed problems in some of the patches i previously posted,
all of which can be considered obsoleted by this post.

i'm attaching five individual patches, each of which should apply
cleanly against the 1.0 release.  however some of these patches are
mutually incompatible so i'm also including a COMBINED patch that
combines all five into one patch against 1.0.

i've added a preamble to each patch explaining what it does and why.

i hope some or all of these will be useful and can be incorporated
into the package.  a couple contain fixes for problems in the
distributed code, and the rest are feature enhancements.

i'd also love to see a biff command included in the package.  right
now i'm using biff from biff+comsat-0.17, which does the trick.  biff
is still very useful for temporarily stopping output to a particular
tty.  i wouldn't mind writing a new one if it would be included in
mailutils.

cheers!
