I was hopeing to stay out this debate, but....

My patch simply updated the manual page to what Poul
had left behind after the gutting.  The only reason I
did this is because I had a core file in swap that I
could not clear.  The core file was written in the
old format and the gutted savecore would not clear it.
A day or two later, Marcel implemented sufficient
functionality so that I could remove the core file. 

After Marcel's work someone else, whose name escapes
me at this point in time, resurrected the vmcore.# 
functionality and maybe the minfree functionality.
His patches were posted.  I believe Alfred commented
on the patches, and then no one committed the patches.
