Add: bbs100.

Add: bbs100.

[ng0]

This patch adds bbs100. It is still maintained, the release intervals are just very long.
It will need a service to be fully functional, but that service looks like it will be small.
The build runs a test and does not follow 100% the INSTALL file in the source of bbs100, for the reason that when you do as they recommend you will sent the build system into a loop. Funny bug.

I hope this build also terminates the "bbs" process after the check phase, because when I wanted to start it I was told it already runs (but I saw no bbs or its pid in my joblist).
The check phase says it is working, so I trust it.

Difficult, at a short run of grep it looks as if this requires a
patch/substitute of certain occurences. I have to study this for a while
longer. I don't put this aside as a FIXME as the log directory is
probably affected at runtime (when there's a service for the bbs).

A FIXME is that the bin directory is a symlink to bin-3.3.1.

Okay.
