Re: [Nmh-workers] possible problem with mhfixmsg in nmh-1.7

I also ./configured with --with-hash-backup to make sure, and have that
as my default for development now.  I did notice that the distcheck
target fails to pass that on, along with quite a few other user-chosen
options?  Is that deliberate?  I see there's
AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS, presumably that's where they'd go.

It has the convenient side-effect at the moment of using `#' for the top
build, and `,' for the distcheck, but we'd ideally stress a buildbot by
trying quite a few configure combinations, including throwing in a
symlink.  Speaking of which, is there someone on the list familiar with
buildbot that would want to host a public one for nmh?
