SCO 'su' replacement

On 11th April I reposted our replacement su for SCO Unix.  I am grateful
to Jan-Piet Mens for pointing out that it did not successfully set the
login-uid (which is its main raison d'etre) on 3.2.2, and for helping me
try out replacements.  This patch produces a version that works properly
on both 3.2.0 and 3.2.2.
