OK, about that safegets.[ch] issue: I'm opposing to it because of CVS system overuse. Every file that ever gets into the tree remains there, even if it's being removed later (it just moves into the Attic); being that it's used for _just one file_ (*) in this port, and because this issue would better be solved by the developer fixing its sources I believe it's better not to trash the CVS tree with one temporary file; and since adding this to a patchfile doesn't involve creating a new file I find it a better solution. The bottom line is: better not thrash the CVS tree with a file that probably won't live too long in there when you can make use of alternative less CVS-stressing methods... (*) One file in the imap-uw port; I haven't yet checked out your imap-utils port, I don't know how many file you got there to patch; but if you really need to have that file verbatim you can add in your port. Or you could invent some hackery (like generate it from inside the Makefile)...
