CONFIGURATION BY HAND
-Instead of running the `configure' program, you have to perform the

1) Copy `./src/config.in' to `./src/config.h'.
2) Edit `./src/config.h' to set the right options for your system. If
you need to override any of the definitions in the s/*.h and m/*.h
files for your system and machine, do so by editing config.h, not by
-changing the s/*.h and m/*.h files. Occasionally you may need to
-redefine parameters used in `./lib-src/movemail.c'.

-3) Create src/Makefile and lib-src/Makefile from the corresponding
-`Makefile.in' files. First copy `Makefile.in' to `Makefile.c',
-then edit in appropriate substitutions for the @...@ constructs,
-and then copy the shell commands near the end of `configure'
-that run cpp to construct `Makefile'.

-4) Create `Makefile' files in various other directories
-from the corresponding `Makefile.in' files. This isn't so hard,
-just a matter of substitution.
