Subject: Sudo version 1.6.4 now available

Sudo version 1.6.4 is now available (ftp sites listed at the end).

There are some thing I had promised for the next release that are
not in 1.6.4 due to the large changes in the parser that these
changes require to work properly.  Nonetheless this release does
fix the majority of problems in the sudo bugs database and adds
features a number of people have asked for.  I hope to make more
frequent releases in the near future (it has been quite a while
since 1.6.3 was originally released).

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
