Sorry; I took a lack of response to any of my other personal messages and a
lack of response to any of my messages sent to the list as evidence that
you were out of pocket. My intent, as with the 1.94prebeta2 patch, was to
gather, integrate and test patches and ship them off to you en masse. If
no response was received, then that was a bridge that would have to be
crossed at that time.

The rationale behind the latter patch was information from the experts on
comp.mail.sendmail to the effect that sendmail will exit with nonzero
status without giving useful information on STDOUT at various random and
unpredictable times. Setting -oee will cause sendmail to always exit zero
in these circumstances and to mail the error messages to the proper place.

I had approached it based on the minimal modification policy, but it really
does need to get fixed. Everything else uses an install.sh so there really
isn't a reason not to. (Except for the fact that someone has to rewrite
the Makefile again.)
