I've submitted a patch to update pine4 to 4.03, and add some
additional functionality. It's PR 7879. I was in a hurry for this due to
the discussion on bugtraq regarding the possibility of a user with a
"pine only" login account gaining shell access. Also I've had "add an
install of /usr/local/etc/pine.conf" on my list of things to do forever,
so I'm happy. :)

    One problem I ran into was when I added a test for the pine.conf
file. Originally I tried:

.if !exists(${PREFIX}/etc/pine.conf)

but that didn't work, so I had to switch to 

.if !exists(/usr/local/etc/pine.conf)

I am not enough of an expert on make to know why this didn't work, but I
got tired of beating my head against the wall. I figured that since the
references to /usr/local are hard-coded into the documentation and the
os-bsf.h file this wouldn't be a big deal in this case. 

Hope it's of use,

Doug
