Ah, yes, that sounds great.

I made some progress on this but then I got distracted by work and other
things, so I haven't been able to get to it for the past two weeks.  I am
going to pick it up again, and should have time in the next month and a
half to finish it.  (Hopefully sooner than that, of course.)

I see that you did this and I agree with that, but also we could just drop
it from the INN distribution entirely.  It's available via the pgpcontrol
distribution also from ISC if anyone wants it, and I think the number of
INN users who need to issue control messages is very small.  The number
who both need that and who benefit from having it included in INN may be
zero.
