comsat for System V with FIFO

As a long-time BSD user I got attached to the biff and comsat programs;
when I started using a System V machine it became harder to know when I had
new mail.  So I decided to convert the freed BSD comsat program (from
uunet) to System V.  We don't have sockets or other networking stuff on
our systems so I changed it to use a named pipe (FIFO) instead.

I didn't find the source code to biff on uunet so I wrote my own public
domain version.

I haven't yet adapted smail or any other mail delivery program to actually
send a message to comsat yet; right now I'm just experimenting with it, and
"echo dave at 0 > /etc/comsat.fifo" is sufficient.

In case anyone else is interested, here are comsat and biff for System V.
Comments welcome.
