Customizing user-full-name

[Steven L Baur]

Changing the user-full name is a problem.  Here is my proposed
treatment of it.  This patch adds a variable called
message-user-full-name which can be used for customization.

This is the same patch I posted Sunday to gnu.emacs.gnus, and is
against Gnus 5.2.5.

Emacs just has the `user-full-name' function return the
`user-full-name' variable, sort of.  I think it would be nice if
that was the case on XEmacs as well.

If that's not a good idea -- how do users change their full names
under XEmacs?

chfn, or vipw.  ;-)  It looks like this can be customized via the NAME
environment variable as well.  This stuff is all hardcoded in C.
