I also feel it would be very helpful if the version-string
of sendmail would change to indicate the patched version.
I made a mistake on some of the machines I upgraded, such
that I did new buildworlds that did *not* include the latest
bug-fixes.  That mistake was entirely my fault, but it didn't
help that when I was done I still couldn't easily tell which
machines had the right version of sendmail, and which ones
had the older version.
