I'm willing to take on iperf, libfakesu, procmail, and sendmail.
The latter two have not advanced much in versions despite the years
involved. libfakesu is required for both of them. iperf looks more
interesting to me; updating it might give me some experience to use to
finish my long-dormant port of iozone to Cygwin.
