I wonder if we can change from Makefile.PL to one of the more modern Perl build systems... > I do not have the purify-tool, so I was not able to compile the > imap/imap.pure, imap/imap.quant, imap/lmtpd.pure, imap/muptead.pure, > imtest/imtest.pure, notifyd/notifyd.pure, ptclient/ptdump.pure, > ptclient/ptexpire.pure, ptclient/ptloader.pure and > timsieved/timsieved.pure targets.

I had a good chat with Greg in Melbourne last week about what still needs to be done. My plan is to build a set of bugs that need to be resolved, and make sure everything we're thinking about is on that list! Then we'll have a clearer idea. Regardless, I think we should merge your automake code now, so we have a chance to test it for a while! I'm in transit to Oslo tomorrow, so depending on jetlag and other tasks, it may be a little while before I can merge it myself, so unless someone else grabs it... I'll do it when I get a chance. Thanks for all your work on this, Bron. -- Bron Gondwana br...@fastmail.fm
