How to build Mutt 1.2.5i/iX.1

The source code is packaged as a diff against the original Mutt 1.2.5i sources.
Please download mutt-1.2.5i.tar.gz from one of the www.mutt.org mirror sites.
You may optionally use the charmaps-0.0.tar.gz add-on package as well.
Instructions below assume a MUTT.ORG logon, because this is my porting setup.
The localized message catalogs might fail to work in other install directories.

 :hello manager.sys

 :newacct org,mgr
 :purgeuser mgr.org
 :purgegroup pub.org
 :altacct org; cap=+ph

 :newgroup mutt.org; access=(r,x:any; w,a,l,s:gl)
 :newuser mutt.org; pass=whatever; home=mutt
 :altuser mutt.org; cap=+ph,gl

 :hello mutt.org

 :xeq /bin/sh -L

 shell/iX> mkdir build; cd build
 shell/iX> gzip -dc /tmp/mutt-1.2.5i.tar.gz | tar xvopf -
 shell/iX> cd mutt-1.2.5
 shell/iX> # the next step is optional
 shell/iX> gzip -dc /tmp/charmaps-0.0.tar.gz | tar xvopf -
 shell/iX> tar xvzopf /tmp/mutt-125i-ix1-delta.tar.Z
 shell/iX> tar xvzopf /tmp/mutt-125i-ix1-c89-o.tar.Z
 shell/iX> mpe/patch.sh
 shell/iX> mpe/build.sh

You are now ready to use the software in /ORG/MUTT/v125i (bin, lib, var, ...)
Select a non-default locale (e.g. de for German) by setting the LANG env variable.
You will need to have sendmail installed and .muttrc customized for outgoing mail.

Have fun using Mutt 1.2.5i/iX, but keep in mind: *use at your own risk*
