Really??  That is good news!  I would not have known where to look
at otherwise, easily.

And you want me to support CC=cc on the command line, do you?
I had it removed already some minutes ago, but i expected many
people using CC=cc as a very default, so we would never search for
other compilers.  But i think OPT_AUTOCC should honour it,
finally.  Will do.

I wonder how VAL_PRIVSEP_USER=nr pays you anything.  I have seen
the problem arise for the Homebrew recipe that has been recently
created, there OPT_DOTLOCK=no was the only (easy) solution for new
macOS.  We always use normal file locking, even with
OPT_DOTLOCK=no, it is just that this is traditionally used, and is
used today by default by at least dovecot and OpenBSD smtpd, maybe
more.  I mean other MUAs do not do it right or care at all anyway
(but do not have a security advisory, on the other hand).  But if
the server uses this when storing data it strives me right to take
care of it?

And we now follow something similar to the established "config-it
&& build-it && PRIVILEGED install-it", i would need to add
a dependency on config: in install: otherwise, and then the
established way of doing things would re-evaluate configuration
again, which we definitely do not want.  In fact i have changed
the build system to this approach because of the careless Debian
package, which caused exactly this to happen...

Good night!
