I have had access to sendmail source for a while, but hadn't wanted to
do anything with it because I wasn't sure if I needed a source license
of some source or not; obviously I didn't look at the code enough.

Now, the question comes up of how to build it for System V, specifically
a UNIX PC.  I played around with it a bit, turning off most features to
avoid obvious Berkeleyisms, but it still won't go.  Any suggestions on
an easy way to do this, or is it guaranteed hard labor?  (No, I don't
*need* it, just wanted something else to hack on.)
