[gobolinux-devel] [patch] allow non-superusers to query GoboHide version/help

[Andy Feldman]

As a user, I am in favor of this sort of patch. Any program
functionality that doesn't require su should be exposed to regular
user accounts if possible, even if you can't think of why someone
might want to use it without the su functionality.

Anything else reminds me how silly the /sbin distinction is.
