Define $MAIL for HP-UX which is ends up in #define MAIL_DIRECTORY	none

Description Brian Smith 2005-10-08 00:01:01 AEST

$MAIL environment gets set to /var/spool/mail instead of /var/mail when logging
in via SSH.

Configure will pick it up from the build environment if the location is not found in the headers, so you can do something like:

MAIL=/var/mail/`whoami` ./configure && make

I'll have a look at configure and see if it can be made a bit smarter.

configure.gz: rebuilt configure from 4.2p1

Rebuilt configure for 4.2p1 with patch.  If you don't have autoconf, then download, ungzip and replace configure.

Fixed in both -HEAD and the 4.2 branch.  Thanks for the report.
