[Nmh-workers] 1.4 build failures on RHEL/CentOS 5

On CentOS 5, I get the following compile time errors:

        gcc -s -o mhlist mhlist.o mhparse.o mhcachesbr.o mhlistsbr.o mhmisc.o 
mhfree.o ftpsbr.o termsbr.o md5.o ../config/version.o ../config/config.o

        termsbr.o: In function `read_termcap':

        make: *** [mhlist] Error 1

That was fixed by installing ncurses-devel, but we should really be
checking for that at configure time. Also:

        gcc -s -o forw forw.o whatnowproc.o whatnowsbr.o sendsbr.o annosbr.o 
distsbr.o ../config/version.o ../config/config.o ../mts/libmts.a ../sbr/libmh.a 
        ../sbr/libmh.a(fmt_scan.o): In function `fmt_scan':
        fmt_scan.c:(.text+0xb64): undefined reference to `dparsetime'
        collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
        make[1]: *** [forw] Error 1
        make[1]: Leaving directory `/local/home/install/nmh-1.4/uip'
        make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I haven't got to the bottom of that one yet. There's a prototype for it
in tws.h and the definition claims to be in dtimep.lex, but it's been
nearly 20 years since I last did anything with lex, and I'm rusty enough
that I can't immediately see what's wrong (or even what's meant to be
happening!)
