Subject: Pine planning to use autoconf?

Yo Pine-Central,

   Any plans to distribute UNIX pine with a GNU autoconf/configure script
in future releases, instead of the "build xxx" form used now?  I sure would
like to see it.  I didn't see any mention of this topic anywhere in the
FAQ.

The FreePine project (a now divergant Pine development stream due to
sad circumstances) is doing so, but the autoconf for it is embrionic at
the moment.  It would  be nice if UW Pine would also try to do this.
