With the removal of perl, existing system dependencies on perl need

to be removed/modified so that the dependency no longer exists.  Most
of these have been caught over the last year, but several have not,
including:

/usr/bin/mmroff
/usr/bin/afmtodit
/usr/sbin/adduser
/usr/sbin/rmuser

Add a TODO item that these must be dealt with before 5.0-RELEASE.

dependencies on perl must also be converted to a native shell
scripting language, C, or be made into packages or ports.
