No, you can't.  dma can also act as "mailq", and should do so if called 
with this name.  It seems that glibc provides program_invocation_short_name.

There is, but it is in the etc/ directory.  I will move it.

How do you intend to work with reallocf and strlcpy?  Should we include 
that in the dma directory, or is there another way of doing it?
