Thanks, Christos, that was amazingly quick!
But, there's still one catch:
net/uucp installs uucico in /usr/pkg/sbin/uucico (really
${PREFIX}/sbin/uucico), but files/uucpd/pathnames.h tells uucpd
to look for it in /usr/libexec/uucp/uucico. Also, uucpd requires
the shell to match the path to uucico, and the path is hard
coded in the man page as /usr/libexec/uucp/uucico, so the man
page should be changed if the path is changed. I'm not sure if
there's any easy way to change the path in a way that respects
${PREFIX} without using a configure script.
