>Description:
1) send-pr.el doesn't work properly because

- there is no $GNATS_ROOT/gnats_adm/config file (as expected, because
I'm not running the GNATS PR repository).

- /bin/sh issues the error message ".:Can't open /gnats_adm/config"
instead of something starting with "/bin/sh", as send-pr.el expects.

2) I also found what I think is a typo in send-pr.el: one instance of
DEFAULT_CONFIDENTIAL should be DEFAULT_CLASS (or something similar)
instead.

3) There was also a problem in Makefile{,.in} which made the
Submitter-Id: show up as "xSUBMITTERx" instead of "net".

Applying this fix will make the lives of Emacs addicts like myself
much easier.

>How-To-Repeat:
	# (add send-pr autoloads to your .emacs)
	emacs -f send-pr
>Fix:
	Apply the following patches (Note that you have to reinstall
send-pr.el by hand):
