Thanks for catching that.

The configure script does not yet support that option.  As I mentioned
earlier, slrnpull has not been tested.

I rewrote the Makefile but never got around to adding it.  There were
(and still are) other priorities.  Feel free to submit a patch.

po/Makefile.in.in needs to be modified.  Right now it is a low priority.

I will put it back in a future released.

po/Makefile.in.in issue.

The macros->slang was intentional.  The install location should be
under share.

I think this is fixed in pre0.9.9-39.
