Surely, it is not. I have removed the duplicate getline.h from /lib
subdir and updated Makefile.am's accordingly.

Hmm, but do we need to actually rewrite getline.c, Alain? When I
started to move the necessary stuff from /lib to /mailbox some time
ago, you wrote:

  "getline.c and argcv.c are things that we wrote, you can change"
  "them to LGPL if that can make life easier.  I got no problem with"
  "that."

(your message from Wed, 11 Sep 2002 23:46:02 -0400 (EDT), it can be
found in the bug-mailutils archive, thread "Fixing interlibrary deps.")

If this is actually so, then there's no problem, is there?
