-P, --pager pager use program `pager' to display output.
This seems a good candidate as a FAQ, expecially now that people will
start to upgrade their bo systems using bo-unstable (where you won't
find the "updated" pagers), so I have prepared a "bogus" pager which
will be installed by version -61 (hamm) and -59bo61 (bo-unstable),
just to avoid the error message.
