Wouldn't matter if it was, its part of the OSs standard library ... unless
you mean to pull it in and use it with the distribution, which I think
might be a bad idea ... if we pull anything in, sendmail's would be best
... FreeBSD's will have had anything required for non-FreeBSD systems
yanked out, if it was ever there, while sendmail's already has all the
'hooks' in it ...
