Hmmm. I'm NOT very happy with this result.  (Well, in a way, I am - it
works.  But in another way, this means "adding lots of code to sendfax
that I wanted to do anyway, but never had the time to", for sanitizing the
G3 files, and rewriting it on-the-fly if necessary).

Is the last one a "without" or a "with"?  With "with", it doesn't make
sense...

I'll hack an option into g3cat to do this, and then you can just modify
faxspool to call "g3cat -l 2200 <normal args>" or so.

This will be the second step.  I need the "g3 parser and sanitizer" anyway 
(for class 1), but this is more complicated.
