We could easily set up the sudoers file like this:

  a) for wheel-group members, auth-as-self.
  b) for non-wheel-group-members, sudo prompts for the *root* password.

Then, 'su -c "command"' could be replaced with "sudo command" in the
documentation and would be correct in both cases. And since sudo has several
advantages over 'su -c', this is a win-win.
