So I took a look at that ... the whole PACKAGE doesn't build right, but
if you untar it, change into src/metamail, and do "make mmencode", it
builds fine.

It looks like the issues are: either mmencode needs a home, or we need to
switch exmh to a package that is more recent than the first Clinton
administration.

It occurs to me that mmencode could have a home in nmh (well, I guess exmh
uses "mimencode", but same thing really).  Although I see exmh can use
recode if available.  Maybe this is a non-problem?
