I have a few issues with using Ollivier's stuff (0.47.11). Namely, I'd
rather get the dist from the *Offical* dist site. Because of my
stuboness in this, I have a port that works much like the PGP one. And
is about as complicated too. USA residents get mutt-0.47.tar.gz and
non-USA residents get mutt-0.47-export.tar.gz and 01.pgp.PATCH is
applied. Then the rest of the patches are applied in both cases.
I have spent a lot of time getting this so that it would work for
everyone, and be easy to *update* on the next release that is fairly
stable.
Before I waste more time on this (since I am at the mercy of others to
get it committed after I submit it), lets decide which port will live.

Why are you making a dir of /usr/local/mutt (in the default case)? I
have stuff going to /usr/local/share/{doc/mutt,mime.types,Muttrc}. I
worked with Michael early on so that configure would use 4.4BSD dir
structure on FreeBSD.

PLEASE don't force me (a USA resident) to fetch from Germany. Do you
have any idea how *extreamly slow* ftp's from Germany can be?
