Hi, Christopher.  Apologies, I had nothing to offer at the time, but I thought 
your description clear enough.

It shouldn't be that way, of course, but, well, everybody tries to push stuff 
"out the door".  Makefiles are entrusted to autoconfigure.  As long as the main 
configuration options seem to work, it's ASSUMED to be good.  It's just the way 
things are.

It should be reported upstream.  It's really their responsibility to get the 
Makefile generated correctly.

Hacking the Makefile you got, or the config.in, is probably not worth the 
effort.  Just remove it after.

I've noticed that happens when someone sends an HTML encoded post.  Some email 
clients never have heard of "text" it seems.  "What?  Who doesn't want my 
cutely formatted HTML?"
