Okay, I've committed a first cut of the freebsd-uucp port. Anyone who
makes use of uucp, please test this and let me know if there's
anything else I should be doing to smooth the transition path from the
base system version. Since I don't use UUCP, I might be missing
something.

Once people are happy with the port, I'll remove the uucp stuff from
the base system (leaving cu behind, probably)
