-Builds ok.
+With --enable-nmh-debug you'll see a lot of warnings. This is even
+worse when compiling using the Sun Workshop compiler since it issues a
+warning for every instance of a problem instead of summarizing them.
+The main one concerns arrays with an index of type char. This is ok.
+The array itself is a hash of chars, so the array size and the type
+match. There isn't another safe and portable way to do this at the
+moment. An explicit cast would get rid of the warnings, but I think
+it's better to leave it complaining for now until we come up with
+a better solution. The whole thing is probablly going to be chucked
+with UTC-8 support anyway.

+Other than the warnings, it builds ok.
