Re: [Nmh-workers] 1.7's `make clean' is Overzealous.

OpenBSD uses SYSCONFDIR in it's Makefile:

SYSCONFDIR=             ${PREFIX}/lib/nmh

According to the  man page this is passed on  to GNU configure (probably
--sysconfdir=${PREFIX}/lib/nmh as an argument).

PREFIX is typically  /usr/local, which after nmh is  built and installed
results in  /usr/local/lib/nmh as the place  where default configuration
is found.

But it sounds like with the way things are currently set up, for 1.7
the configuration files will actually end up in /usr/local/lib/nmh/nmh,
which I think most of us would agree kind of sucks.
