ack, removed those two.

yep, fixed in 1.6.25 and in future releases.

I'm a bit hestitating about these changes. I've fooled around to many times
with the default location of hdup. Debian also installs hdup in /usr/bin, while
I install it in /usr/local/sbin. I think I'll leave it that way.

yes, I think I will add a hdup.spec.in, so the configure script will update
the version. I'm bound to forget that sometimes.
