Tonights changes:

 - Added checking the return value of getpwuid() in readconfigs. If
   the value is NULL then see if the $HOME is set in the environment.
   This avoids a crash for Win32 users who don't bother to set up
   /etc/passwd in cygwin environment.

 - Added support for proper naming of executables (hypermail on
   Unix hypemail.exe on Dos/Windows/NT).

 - Corrected getlocaltime so it would not print the timezone twice
   if the timezone was also specified in the dateformat directive.

 - Corrected print.c so From: is printed when the email address
   is the same as email name.

 - Removed tests/testhm from the baseline. Replaced it with testhm.in
   so configure can generate the proper path to the test hypermail
   executable.

 - Modified configure.in so that it can determine if it is running
   in cygwin environment. Added tests/testhm.in support.

 - Removed acconfig.h from the baseline as it is no longer needed
   with the current configure changes.

 - Assured destination directories exist for all installed files.

 - Added uninstall option in makefiles.

 - Cleaned up the docs/Install-win32.txt to reflect the changes made.

and others...

I tagged the CVS archive with "hypermail-2b26" for this version.

I have rolled a new version. It is located at

  ftp://ftp.landfield.com/hypermail/development/hypermail-2b26.tar.gz

Please test this. There have been a great deal of minor bugfixes for
the build on different platforms. It also corrects some of the problems
that have been discussed on the list recently. This version compiles
and runs nicely on Windows 98/NT as well.

We are only accepting bug fixes from this point forward until 2.0 is
official.
