[TUHS] v7 uucp debugging help requested

v7 UUCP has no uuname command: I get uucp, uux, uuxqt, uucico, uulog, and
uuclean.  The makefile also includes uurecover but it's not part of the
default targets.

uucp, uulog, and uux go in /bin, the others in /usr/lib/uucp.

It does look like there are debug statements in cico.c; I'll try connecting
from the pi side manually and invoking uucico -x 7 and seeing what happens.
