* Jochen Hayek’s changes to make RPA less verbose.

fetchmail-4.4.8 (Tue May 26 12:30:58 EDT 1998), 14859 lines:
* Added 0.90 beta version of fetchmailconf.
* Removed fetchall side-effect kluge, now that we know how to make TOP work
with qpopper 2.3+.
* Patch by Kok Seng to prevent loss of UID info when a query fails.
* Pascal Grudler sent a fix for the idfile option.
* Several fixes for command-line processing from Gunther Leber:
- in fetchmail.c
* set tmpbuf to NULL after freeing the buffer (so this will hopefully
cause a coredump, when tmpbuf is used somewhere else)
* when makeing sure we have a nonempty host list to forward to, I
added "localhost" for non ETRN protocols. This should relieve the
situation for people, who do neither have a static ip-address
(hostname) assigned and don’t bother to set up a dummy-interface
for their hostname. I think this feature was already in fetchmail
in an older version. We lost this, when we changed the code that it
would work with ETRN. My fix here works for both ETRN and non ETRN.
- in options.c
* changed char buf[...] to *buf + xmalloc to avoid buffer overuns and
possible resulting (and annoying) coredumps
* in parsecmdline(): replaced atoi by xatoi which uses strtol and
better validity checks for input numbers. This fix only works on
ANSI-C systems; old systems still use atoi.
- fixed reversed dumping of mimedecode option
