Proposal: psutils (again)

[Daniel Bößwetter]

Hi Volker,

I got my source archive from a server in France, but I just noticed, 
that the author's "original" site is up again:

http://knackered.knackered.org/angus/psutils/

Here you can download the source, and it does *not* contain the 
Makefile. You probably have the Debian patched version. Maybe the 
Debian-patch cannot be reversed :)

"cmp" tells me that the source I used is the original version.

Bye,
Daniel
