 This appears to be because the do-install rule dumps the compiled-in
 config out and uses that as the example; but if there's a global
 config file, the run of the newly built pine that does this will see
 the global config and reflect it into the example config.
 
 Is there a command-line option to ignore the system config file?
 Adding that to the do-install rule should fix the problem. Failing
 that, we probably need to patch in such an option or generate the
 example config some other way.
 
 (also, if alpine or realpine has dealt with this, merging those
 changes might be a viable alternative)
