Hmm. It's in the latest debian package (2.1.14.1) and works as
advertised. I just poked at the FC6 version (2.2.2 -- but Bruce's last
version seemed to be the 2.1 series, so no idea who is responsible for
this brain damage), and it now unconditionally prints the banner.
Huzzah.

It at least goes to stderr, which might be redirectable; otherwise
you're stuck editing the source (see efence.c:initialize).
