jlam c1009ac844 Merge improvements from the version of Taylor UUCP 1.06.1 that exists
in NetBSD's src/gnu/libexec/uucp directory.  Changes include:

   * Teaching cu(1) about hardware flow control.
   * Make cu(1) honor "echocheck" and "binary mode" with respect to
     inspecting the data stream for newlines.
   * Make some proper integer casts so as not to break on LP64 platforms.
   * Teach uucp to substitute for \H with the IP address of the system.
   * Avoid potential divide-by-zero errors when computing times using
     serial rates.
   * Properly initialize some variables.

The main difference between this version and the one in NetBSD is the
location of uucico, uuconv, and uuxqt -- the vanilla UUCP location is
${PREFIX}/sbin while the NetBSD location is /usr/libexec/uucp.

Bump PKGREVISION to 1.

The Taylor UUCP package provides everything you need to make a UUCP
connection. It currently supports the 'f', 'g' (in all window and
packet sizes), 'G', 't' and 'e' protocols, as well a Zmodem protocol,
the FX UUCICO 'y' protocol, and two new bidirectional protocols.
If you have a Berkeley sockets library, it can make TCP connections.
If you have TLI libraries, it can make TLI connections. It supports
a new configuration file mechanism.
