 vlock(1) - Virtual Console lock program

This nice and small program used by admins on machines with consoles
only. Unfortunately it has inactive upstream(s).

The original upstream for vlock-1.3 at

    ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/usr.bin/

is inactive for years. There is also new upstream at

   http://freecode.com/projects/vlock
   http://repo.or.cz/w/vlock.git

but this also seems inactive and from my point of view vlock-2.x is
over-engineering rhapsody (glib, plug-ins, dependences resolver,
external scripts etc.)

What about to merge vlock-1.3 into utils-linux? It's 630 lines of code
(including unnecessary non-PAM code).

Comments & Objections?
