The "bb" command sends your "status" message to all of the display
servers, if the first argument is "0.0.0.0" (usually, this will
be $BBDISPLAY which should be set as such when you have multiple
servers. Of course, the BBDISPLAYS variable must also be set for
this to work.

Note that this was severely broken in the RC and all snapshots prior to
yesterday.
