Worked on making pine build under Linux. (It used to work for me several months ago.) Send-pr: pkg/21887: make pico build under Linux And sent improved DESCR. (jschauma used patches and closed PR on 18/Jun/2003.)

Also, COMMENT should include "Pilot" but I didn't provide wording for that. (Or Pilot should be like sysutils/pilot instead.)

By the way, in February, I split out c-client so pine can install without also installing mail retrieval servers. I will import to pkgsrc-wip, but also current packages need to be changed too. Maybe I'll import all to pkgsrc-wip for testing. (I should upgrade to latest pine too.)

Imported archivers/opax into pkgsrc-wip.

Worked more on pine updates. mail/pine's DESCR has parts that should be moved to MESSAGE. DESCR also lists pico and mail servers which really are in other packages. Pine didn't use USE_PKGINSTALL for its pine.conf. Also, needs ncurses for Linux (and Darwin?). Patch for Linux did use -lcurses instead of -lncurses. I patched that (because on Linux usually -lcurses is a symlink to -lncurses). Add buildlink2 for ncurses -- maybe this should only be done for Linux and Darwin? (Also, PAM needs to be fixed for this. But I will provide in another patch later. Also, I made a separate c-client package for pine to use so the servers aren't needed to be installed. I will submit that later too -- and update version.) Send-pr: pkg/21889: fixes for mail/pine: CONF_FILES, MESSAGE, ncurses (jschauma used these ideas and closed on 28/Jun/2003.)
