l/polkit-0.105-i486-4.txz: Rebuilt.
Reverted a patch that set the members of the wheel group as the
authorized administrators. On Slackware, root is the administrator
and the wheel group is mostly unused. Thanks to GM.

You see, in the States everything is "awesome" (newly "great"), in the UK it's "absolutely fantastic" and in Europe it "just works",
the latter perfectly defining Slackware, hence the high adoption in the rather "pragmatic" Europe. Besides, our beloved BDFL's surname has a Germanic origin, that's in case you haven't noticed
I've always looked upon Slackware as a perfect tool to build something upon/with, load it - much like fire&forget and then just focus on the goal, no "playing" around.
It just works!
