Fine, I'm going to commit it to the development branch, should it go
into 4.0.2, too?

I looked into this shortly, it would require us to export getjob() and
then should be relatively simple.  But.  Just had an idea.  Why not give
an option to disown, say `-c' for `continue', that makes it wake up
stopped jobs before disowning them?  With that, users could alias
`disown' to `disown -c' to never have to worry about that anymore and in
execcmd() we just would have to stick the `-c' into the list.
