inconsistently named "ptmp" and "etc_ptmp". This commit changes
it to "passwd_tmp" for consistency and to match OpenBSD's name
for the variable.

one user who differs only by case. The other perl tools assume (or enforce)
the all lowercase requirement, therefore making the search through
master.passwd case insensitive seemed a reasonable optimization, IMO.
I understand, although I do not sympathize with, the argument that someone
might want to do this on purpose, and might subsequently want to use the
wrong tool for the job. So, this fix should hopefully satisfy both camps.
Address this by using getpwnam(), thus killing several birds with
the same stone. My fix is slightly more aggressive than the
originators. :)

from /var/mail, added a routine to delete the removed user's files
from /tmp, /var/tmp, & /var/tmp/vi.recover, and added code to kill any
running processes owned by the removed user). I've also added a flag
for non-interactive execution, cleaned up the man page, and adjusted
my address.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
