run_hknmod.cpp

/* sudo wrapper for hknmod.py

   The website needs to run hknmod to register new officers / committee
   members.
   hknmod.py needs to be run as root.
   Python doesn't respect the setuid bit.

   This program simply forwards its arguments to hknmod.py.
   As a c++ program, its setuid will be respected, and we can have
   www-data run hknmod correctly.

   MAKE SURE PERMISSIONS ARE CORRECT ON THE EXECUTABLE
