I had nothing agaist err() or getprogname() in NetBSD's libc.  I just
didn't see any reason to use getprogname() and setprogname() in
exactly two .c files: uuencode.c and uudecode.c. I've already
answered: if an independance of executable name is your goal, feel
free to close this PR. If somebody call 'uuencode' a 'foobar'...


P.S.
Do you use setprogname() and getprogname() in SUID executables too? ;)
