- make fetchmail --silent --quit really silent, Debian Bug #229014 by

  Dr. Andreas Krüger.
- cleanup --quit handling again (so that --silent --quit just kills the 
  existing daemon, rather than continue running), and document it more 
  clearly.
- Print an error message if multiple "defaults" records are found in the 
  configuration file.
