gets mangled by EXEC-PREFIX/bin/mkdist, which is then imported to our

gets installed in PREFIX/share/gnats/dist/send-pr.sh, and this
includes sets some architecture dependent variables, such as the
MAIL_AGENT, ECHON, and PASSWD, in the send-pr.sh that gets used as
input to mkdist. This is undoubtedly the wrong behavior.

but right now we can add the tests that end up setting these variables
directly to the send-pr.sh that we have in our sources.

I've got a fix that *should* work:
util/send-pr/send-pr.sh 1.1.1.5 -> 1.1.1.6
The version for the patch release wants the release name edited,
obviously...

>Description:
send-pr, in the form that we have it in the current tree, hassome hardcoded architecture dependencies in it. The sequence is
send-pr/send-pr.sh in the GNATS sources becomes
PREFIX/share/gnats/dist/send-pr.sh in GNATS installation, which then
gets mangled by EXEC-PREFIX/bin/mkdist, which is then imported to our
sources. The problem is that configure gets run *before* send-pr.sh
gets installed in PREFIX/share/gnats/dist/send-pr.sh, and this
includes sets some architecture dependent variables, such as the
MAIL_AGENT, ECHON, and PASSWD, in the send-pr.sh that gets used as
input to mkdist. This is undoubtedly the wrong behavior.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install krb5-send-pr on e.g. a system that needs ypcatinstead of 'cat /etc/passwd' to list the passwd file, etc.

>Fix:
We probably want to run a patch back to Cygnus at some point,but right now we can add the tests that end up setting these variables
directly to the send-pr.sh that we have in our sources.
