Sork does not itself run the vacation binary.  It does require it
to do the actual work, but it is invoked by the mail MTA and not
sork directly.

Basically the sork vacation module is only there to setup (configure)
vacation to do the right thing.  It is then the MTA and the vacation
binary who do the actual work of sending out messages and so on.

If using CVS, you can check out "sork" and it will grab all of them.
Otherwise, if using tar files or whatever, you need to download each one
that you want separately.
