[git stuff]

This brings up a question -- do we want to move to having
patches posted to the mailing list for review before they
are committed? That's what other git-using projects I deal
with do, and it's much easier to do that emailing with git...

 Anyway, I guess my point here is: I'm thinking of converting nmh over to
 Automake; I've started using it for a few projects here, and it just
 Makes Things Easier.

I'm not much of a fan of automake. I think our current
makefiles are fine, personally.

 (Despite me earlier trashing of
 libtool, I was kinda surprised to discover that nmh ALREADY uses libtool
 today; yikes!).

No we don't, not if you mean GNU libtool. We check for and use
the MacOS libtool (which is a sort of ar+ranlib replacement, apparently)
and we carefully avoid running libtool if it's the GNU one. (Check
the ChangeLog.)

- Unrelated to that, I'm kinda getting tired of the damn warnings when I
 run autoreconf about acconfig.h; I'm thinking of putting the rest of
 the things in acconfig.h into autoconf via --enable switches; comments?

I think we should clean that up and get rid of the warnings, yes.
