Hmm.  I'm looking at /usr/src/lib/libmilter/Makefile which hasn't been
changed since 2002/03/25, and it sure looks like it installs libmilter
and the includes (unless NO_SENDMAIL is set, of course).

The author of the Makefile probably just copied from the README in the
sendmail source.  I have tested my patches on FreeBSD and Debian Linux,
and neither need libsm to link.  I think it's a typo in the original
docs.
