[MP] Message Packer (Hudson and JAM Only)

Packs the message base. This means that the deleted messages are effectively removed from the message base.

The following are valid options for PBUTIL MP:

(-)
-D .......................... Removes old messages. Check the section of
                              the manual about the message areas for more
                              information.
-F .......................... Forces the pack to be executed, even if
                              there are no deleted messages (Hudson Only)
-H .......................... Instructs the message packer to pack the
                              Hudson areas only.
-J .......................... Instructs the message packer to pack the
                              JAM areas only.
-K .......................... Deletes the .BAK files created when packing
                              the message base. (Hudson Only!)
-R .......................... Instructs the message packer to renumber
                              the message base.  Renumbering the message
                              base is done automatically when the highest
                              message number exceeds 25000.  Lastread-
                              pointers in the userfile will be adjusted
                              when renumbering.

Do NOT pack the message base when a user is online!!
