But it fails if Python isn't installed. And installing python and tk isn't
fair either...so the Makefile should check if Python is installed before
attempting to use python.
But the installation failed at a non-python part, if I remember correctly.
The work/fetchmail-blah/Makefile has a line under install: which begins
with ${LN}, which isn't defined on my system. I ended up changing the line
to a cp line and gzipped the referenced manfiles myself. Also, that
Makefile defines a few INSTALL_blah environment variables, which seemed to
need switching-around.
