Reverting 7ba29497ff3f164e2a507eda35e81f1cb0658c74 lets nmh build again
on OpenBSD. Can this change be applied?
I am reluctant to bring this code back, as it was messy. But ... let me
offer a compromise. The code is only needed by rcvtty (will output a message
to your terminal) and slocal (actually, looking at slocal ... that usage
seems to be undocumented; anyone know what the deal is with that?). I
suspect you don't use those features. Would you be happy with code that
just disabled that support on OpenBSD?
strong +1. we should not provide workaround code for non-posix systems.
just disable the features that depend on missing posix features. this
means our worst case is: desupport a non-posix platform (for examples
see vax/vms, microsoft windows, or apparently now, openbsd.)
noncompatibility is not nmh's problem.
