Argus release status?

[Peter Van Epp]

	Indeed. The problem is that NetBSD has a non gnu m4 as /usr/bin/m4.
So manually installing m4-1.4 and bison-1.75 and making /usr/local/bin
before /usr/bin in the path makes things work (bison doesn't like the stock
m4 it wants gnu and looks for gm4 as one of the options, but it looks like
that doesn't really work). With that done rc2 builds fine on NetBSD too, so 
I vote to ship it (if anyone actually wants to use NetBSD we can explain what
needs to be done to build).
