Finally update to bidwatcher 1.0.5. Changes include: 1) Original author no longer had time to work on bidwatcher. So someone else took up the code and put it on sourceforge. 2) Bandwidth load taken off people.FreeBSD.org now that we can get the distfiles off sourceforge instead. 3) Fix URI fennerism. Note: I'm aware of another bidwatcher fork, particularly the one by Wayne Schlitt (www.midwestcs.com/bidwatcher), which is at version 1.1.4; however I've decided to go with the sourceforge version since it actually does compile on FreeBSD (Wayne's version has some sort of Linux-specific timezone code, or at least it conflicts with our timezone() function). I can just hear the eBay freaks cheering this commit on.. 2000-04-16 22:51:27 +00:00			`WWW: http://bidwatcher.sourceforge.net/`
