He's done *just that*. That's what program delivery in a .qmail file
is for. That's what qmail-getpw is for. That's what users/assign is
for. That's what qmail-queue is for. Nobody patches the source of
perl -- they just go to the published APIs and add things. So why are
we patching qmail instead of writing replacements?
