Yes, now I see it. I didn't notice it before because I was trying
the stuff on a system with glibc, which already has argp support :^)

Uncommenting Jeff's changes to argp/Makefile.am (line 18) solves
the problem, but they seem to have caused trouble on QNX
haven't they? Anyway, I quite agree with your proposition of
moving argp to libmailutils:

Any objections if I do that? Alain? Jeff?
