is the assumption of the one-time build really that acceptable?

to quote someone Steve in another email:

All the m4 configuration stuff in the sendmail distribution is nicely
isolated under the sendmail-8.9.3/cf subdirectory.  It doesn't depend on
other material from the rest of the source tree, except for the Build
script that could be replaced with a plain Makefile.

Take a look at a Solaris 7 system sometime; they provide a version of
sendmail 8.9.3 with the base OS distribution and put the complete m4
configuration package under /usr/lib/mail including the templates used
to build their main.cf and subsidiary.cf files.  The total cost in space
is a little over 300K.
