Re: [Nmh-workers] nmh-1.3-RC1: restoring build functionality lost since nmh-1.0.4

Right.  feature based.  Finally an opportunity to make myself get
better and hopefully quicker at doing things right.   I regret all
the now stale open source patches never submitted because I never
got back to doing them right.

And thanks for noticing the other glitches I had not included
in my submission - I thought I had added memmove.c to COMPAT
but had looked right at dtimep.lex and missed it -- I had
even hand executed that Makefile line while checking for
sources of realloc usage which might be problematic for
SunoS4.1.4.   Nice to have an extra pair of eyes :)

Seems like making these general enough for submission would require
adding new specific tests to configure.in along with macro definitions.

Yes, that would be the way to go -- new macros ought to be feature-based,
not platform-based. (Or, as with the realloc issue you mention, the code
should just be written for the lowest common denominator).
