>Description:
	fetchmail daemon startup script (for rc.subr) is not 4.x compatible.

	The problem is that the fetchmail.sh script tries to blindly call
	/etc/rc.subr, which is only available on 5.x and 6.x.  This is
	incorrect; it needs to use %%RC_SUBR%% which will be expanded
	properly at patch or install-time.

	See line 49 of files/fetchmail.in for what I mean.  :-)

	I've also cleaned up a typo in the Makefile.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to start /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail.sh on a 4.x box.
>Fix:
	Apply the below patches.
