Geez, I've been suggesting this for months and so far have received one
submission. Unless you feel like writing the whole thing and going back and
finding everything that's broken along the 1.3 chain (eg linux termcap
entry, ppp, proc-ps, ipfw,etc) yourself, you're not going to get far. I'm
still willing to collect the info but nobody else seems to care.
