While I was installing sendmail 5.61, I thought I might as well bite
the bullet and do the sendmail.cf rewrite I had been promising to do
for so long.

I was testing my new configuration file (sendmail -bt -Cnew.cf) and saw
some strange stuff, so I thought I'd turn on some debugging (sendmail
-bt -Cnew.cf -d21.15).

Now I know that sendmail configuration files are cryptic, but don't you
think "^P" "<@" "^Q" ">" is even worse?  Why isn't there a special
routine which prints rules reasonably?  (For the sake of consistancy I
will accept sendmail.cf style rules as reasonable.)

Do the IDA enhancements fix this problem, or am I going to have to
rewrite printav() and xputs() (changing the names, of course) for use
in rewrite()?
