[net.unix-wizards] Signal porting problems from 4.1 to 4.2

No, this retrofit code is for moving Mail to systems (V7, S3, etc.)
which don't have the job control facility of 4.1BSD or the new signal
mechanism of 4.2BSD.  If VMUNIX is defined in the 4.2BSD Mail, it uses
the 4.2 signal mechanism for job control.

There is signal retrofit software in the source code for the
ucbmail that came along with 4.2bsd.  It seems to implement
sigset, sigrelse, sigsys, sigignore, etc, etc.  It is called
sigretro.[ch]... this should help if you don't feel like rewriting
the code.
