Yes, it should be nmh-1.1.  In docs/README.developers at the end it has the
process one is supposed to follow to make a release.  Doing a 'make nmhdist'
creates the directory with the version number and populates it with just the
files that are supposed to be there (e.g. we shouldn't be distributing that
"autom4te.cache" directory, should we)?

Of course those directions need a couple of updates -- I noticed it still
said to scp the distribution tarball to mhost.com.

I'm also having problems compiling nmh 1.1 on my Red Hat 9 box:

    gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../.. -I. -I../.. -I/usr/include -Wall -g smtp.c
    smtp.c: In function `sm_auth_sasl':
    smtp.c:1169: warning: passing arg 4 of `sasl_client_new' makes integer from

    smtp.c:1310: warning: passing arg 3 of `sasl_getprop' from incompatible 
pointer type
    make[2]: *** [smtp.o] Error 1

It does this whether I do configure --with-cyrus-sasl or
--with-cyrus-sasl=/usr.  I tried prepending configure with 
'env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/sasl' as suggested by the configure --help
output, but that had no effect.

Sorry, this is probably a well-discussed problem, but I'm embroiled in
something at work and can't research it further at this point.  I'll take
another look this evening, and also try to catch up on some of my back
nmh-workers mail.
