recommendation: always end a rc file with a newline

Hi,

I recently found that not having a \n at the end of a procmail rc file
could make problems. In particular, unsetting a variable's value at
the end using something like

# unset $my_VAR
my_VAR

won't work when no byte is following my_VAR. So, in my latest release
of SoftlabsAV (0.8.4), available at
http://softlabsav.sourceforge.net/
I have made sure that each file read by procmail (there are currently
30) will have at least one newline at its end.

best,
rob.
