Apply bug fix reported to Debian (#136976) by Peter Maydell; allows
messages with "Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary" to be
displayed, per RFC 2045 section 6.2 paragraph 4
The first ``inc'' into an empty folder would not update the unseen
sequence. This is because seq_list() will return NULL if mp->nummsg
is zero. Insure that mp->nummsg is incremented.

When compiling format strings, nmh attempts to avoid multiple parsing
of address and date fields by only inserting calls to the parse
functions (FT_PARSEADDR and FT_PARSEDATE) for a given component once.
The problem with this method is that the initial invocation may
actually be on a code path that is conditionally executed. This can
result cached copies of data from the fields in previous messages to
be used.
My solution is to move this optimization from compile time to run time.
Address and Date parsing calls (FT_PARSEADDR and FT_PARSEDATE) will
always be included. Run time flags are used to prevent these functions
from being run more than once per component per message.
The c_flags field has being converted from a boolean to a bit-field to
facilitate maintenance of the new CT_PARSED value. The result value
that used to be in this field is now the bit CF_TRUE and the
overloaded use of this field by scan() is now the CT_DATEFAB bit.
Some unneeded flags (CT_ADDRPARSE, CT_MYMBOX) have also been removed.

Allowed gdbm as substitute for Berkeley db1/ndbm.h libdb1 (check for
gdbm/ndbm.h, libgdbm now); send only stdout to /dev/null when checking for
'broken vi', this allows 'vim' on Solaris to work, since 'vim' closes stdin
and uses stderr for input when running a script.

The file README-ATTACHMENTS was removed - it has been moved to the docs
subdirectory. I thought that this had already been done but I guess not.
It's unrelated to the rest of these changes.
The remainder of these changes affect the way that nmh is installed. Nmh
has historically prompted the user for installation when any nmh command
is invoked if it doesn't think that it's installed. This is a problem for
programs that want to, for example, interact with nmh programs via pipes.
These changes alter this behavior. Now, when an nmh program thinks that
nmh isn't installed, it tells the user to run install-mh to install it.
A -check option has been added to install-mh that allows the existence of
an installation to be silently checked and indicated via the exit status.
The bulk of this change is in sbr/read_context.c. In the process of making
these changes, I noticed a fair amount of useless code that I removed. In
particular:
1. The program started with a test for whether or not defpath had already
been set. This could only happen if context_read() was called more
than once, which it isn't. This check also existed and was removed
from the following places:
sbr/context_del.c
sbr/context_find.c
sbr/context_replace.c
sbr/seq_read.c
sbr/seq_save.c
uip/flist.c
uip/folder.c
uip/rmf.c
2. A similar test for mypath was removed. No need to test it since it
doesn't happen. I'm just not a believer that
a = 1;
if (a != 1)
error();
is a good way to write code!
3. I removed the code makes a copy of the $HOME environment variable as
returned by getenv(). It's never changed, so it doesn't need copying.
4. I removed code that copied the pw_dir member of the passwd structure
returned by getpwuid() if $HOME isn't set. Yes, the returned structure
is static, but since the function is never called again the returned
values stay valid and don't need copying.
5. I removed the test for a NULL pw_dir member in the passwd structure
returned by getpwuid() since that never happens.
6. I removed code that removed a trailing / from mypath if mypath is more
than one character long. Unnecessary as // is interpreted as / anyway.
mypath never shows up in an error message, so nobody will ever see it.
Besides, this code didn't handle the case of multiple trailing slashes.
7. I removed code that replaced the MH environment variable contents with
an absolute path if it was a relative one. I'm a bit nervous about this
one, only testing will tell. Any nmh program that's invoked will use
the same context_read() code to convert a relative path to an absolute
one anyway. And there's no guarantee (or discussion) of this feature
in any of the documentation.
8. Althout context_read() tested the MH environment variable, install-mh
didn't. This means that the behavior was not consistent between
install-mh and all other nmh programs. I changed install-mh to be
consistent with context_read().
9. install-mh has been installed in the lib directory, not bin. So a
user would be unlikely to find it when prompted to run it. The
installation has been changed to add a link from bin to lib.

Be more picky about symbolic time zones, and accept either a symbolic
or numeric time zone, but never both, since a DST offset might be subtracted
twice. Also, be uniform about assuming that pre-1970 dates are Y2K problems.

* -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
as well.
* Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"

Fixed up the hesiod library test so that the location of res_send
actually helps to determine whether -lresolv needs to be passed
as a hesiod lib. Also, fixed the krb5 test to look for
-lk5crypto if it exists, since that's the new name for -lcrypto.
The old -lcrypto remains in case the new version isn't found.
