Sneaky buggers! I'll have to take a look under Ubuntu and see whether
that's just a sneak hack. Under OS X pico is UW version 2.5, under
YellowDogLInux it's UW version 4.6. Obviously these two distros (OS X
is a distro since it's a flavour of BSD) went to the trouble of
including pico (both) and pine (YDL).
