[uw.mfcf.software] New icr-hardware-request installed on math

The following features are added:

1. Allow request sender to specify CC and BCC.
2. There is a "coordinator" that assigns a unique job number to each
   request.  The job number is added to the request and then forwarded
   to the hardware people.  Also, a receipt with the job number is sent
   back to the originator of the request.
3. A "Work log" section is added to the hardware people's copy.

I'm thinking about having a per machine BCC file for logging purpose,
but that'll have to wait till the lilys are done.

The man page still says icr-hardware-request is in /mfcf/usr/bin
(which it isn't).  Am I really supposed to have icr-hardware-request
as an argument to showpath?

And if the new version comes out without *some* support for default values
for the fields I'm going to *SCREAM*.
