Hmmm.  Sonofagun!  Still a couple of things here though..

First, the -c option is undocumented.  If you get a usage string out
of it, it won't list -c among the supported options, nor is it in the
man page.

Second, it doesn't seem to work in the absence of a username anymore,
e.g. you can't say:

	su -c id

To run the command as root.  These two factors led me to believe
that it was still unimplemented.
