Re: unix mailboxes and automake and AC

[Sam Roberts]

Ok, I've got a patch for understanding what I call a unix-mbox.

It'll build an address node with a local-part, and nothing else, no
_email, not _domain, etc.

But, I updated address.texi, too, and there's a problem with the
Makefile.am I don't know how to fix. mailutils.texi doesn't depend
on all the texi, I don't see how to make it. I added a rule to build
the example code in address.texi directly from the c code in
./examples/addr.c, but it won't be run automatically since there
is no rule saying mailutils.info depends on it. I noticed this before
when I was editing address.texi, I made a little script to rm
mailutils.info to force it to be remade so that I could work, but
that was not exactly the Right Way.

Anyhow, attached is the patch. You'll have to manually do a
make ex-address.texi

or else do it once, and add the output to cvs. The .am in Makefile.am
stands for "auto-magic", doesn't it?

ChangeLog:

        mailbox/parse822.c,parse822.h: Now allow a unix mailbox in an address,
        include/mailutils/parse822.h: declare the function to parse them,
        doc/address.texi: document the fact,
        doc/Makefile.am: automatically build the example code from addr.c,
        examples/addr.c,Addrs.good: and update the parser test.

Yeah, it's beautiful down here, I'm loving it. The winters back here
used to be a novelty for me, but no longer. As for AC, it's working
with a vengeance, everybody else is wearing shorts, I brought a
sweater to work last week becaue the vent over my head dumps cold
air on me - all the printouts pinned to my cube walls gently sway
in the icy breeze. They promised they'd stop this before I have to
buy a pair of mittens and cut off the fingers (I've bad circulation
in them from too many years of judo and treeplanting).

Still, when it's cold you can dress up, when it's too hot you
can't do nothing, so I guess I'm better off than you all up at QNX!
