I know little or nothing about configure so could not start to do this
myself. Would it be possible to have a configure flag called something
like --compile-only?. This would merely compile mutt and nothing else. I
find I often do a complete install and then with the same version I want
to do something that changes mutt only - not the docs, not the language
support, not mutt-docklock, etc. I may want to try ncurses after the
first compile was with slang. I may want to try enabling another option
such as pop3. I may want to apply a patch. Now in some cases one can get
away without doing "make distclean" in other cases one has to go back
to a new configure run. I believe it would be quite usefull.

Of course it may already be possible and I have missed it!

Cheers, Brian.
