Okay, could someone who's particularly interested in UUCP feeds or who
otherwise uses batcher (or at least understands it) take the above code
and figure out the best way to include it in INN?  It comes with a bunch
of shell scripts for handling various batching, and I don't think we need
most of them.  It also really needs some documentation.

If we can get this into INN with proper documentation, I think it can
replace the existing send-uucp and sendbatch scripts.  (I think we only
need to support the Perl version in the above tarball.)

I'll add this to TODO; since I don't do UUCP, I'm not the best person to
work on this.
