Description
Both the w(1) and whodo(1M) utilities have an excessive amount of duplicated code (there are even comments noting as much in the source). We should just combine these into a single source file to minimize the chance of future changes not being applied properly to both files. It might also be a good opportunity to clean up some of the other bits -- e.g. use libproc for gathering process information (as much as possible), etc.

Actually after taking a look at what whodo(1M) really does, I don't see a point in keeping it at all - -l mode is already provided by w(1), and default mode looks quite useless in modern times.
