Yeah, you're right.  The "ifdef" and "define" stuff through me.

But in any case, it's still "YUCK".  That only eliminates the "make"
part of getting this to work.  Upgrading to new releases of sendmail
could still be a pain getting the patches to install.

And when the next exploit of Sendmail is found, you'll definitely want
to upgrade ASAP!  :-)
