This should go without saying, but your efforts are really appreciated. I h=
ope
you take all the comments here as suggestions for improving your work rather
than an attempt at deriding it.

I don't. What I meant is that it's usually easier to install additional fil=
es
separately in post-install rather than changing the build system, as if you
choose the latter approach you often need to regenerate your patches every =
time
there's a new software release. Since it's very unlikely there will ever be=
 a
new muttprint release, it shouldn't matter much in this case.
