	Yes, this is in the ports tree for CURRENT now. But can anybody
explain me, why shell for the 'uucp' user in CURRENT still points
to the '/usr/libexec/uucp/uucico' instead
'/usr/local/libexec/uucp/uucico', where uucico lives now?

1. After upgrade from STABLE shell will be points to the wrong binary
2. This is real pain all these cries from mergemaster about differences
	in the master.passwd
3. In the clean CURRENT shell for the uucp user points with finger
	to the sky.
	
	But why we doesn't have wrapper for the uucico like /usr/bin/perl for
perl? Looks like this will be much better solution instead fixing shell
for the uucp user.
