Been wanting to get time to play with nmh's new SASL support for some time
now, but was mildly thwarted by the fact that on Solaris you were forced to
set $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the directory containing libsasl, or the
executables would fail to run.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is considered harmful (and is a pain to get set properly for
non-interactive uses), so the right fix is for the linker to include the
path to libsasl in the nmh executables.
Finally got a chance to implement that for Solaris just now. Anyone that
can extend the support to other OSes, please do so. I'll get support in
there for AIX when I get a chance ('-Wl,-rpath', I believe). If I get time,
I'll look at HP-UX and Linux, too.
I guess one area where this might get tricky is where on a given OS one
compiler would have a different interface to the linker than another
compiler (e.g. one needing a '-Wl,' before the run-path flag and one not).
Hopefully in most of these cases there'll be a version (e.g. _with_ '-Wl,')
that works for all common compilers on that OS.
