Since Red Hat has deprecated this, it will be very hard to do security
updates for it. If someone wants to volunteer to maintain it (and
monitor pine security updates, and build new pine updates as needed),
I'll consider it, otherwise, no.

Hmm. I'll consider it.

I'll give it a shot.

Thats a pretty invasive change. Same deal with pine, if someone wants to
own OpenLDAP, SASL2, and postfix-2, I'll consider it, otherwise, no.
