My problems were with an old source of metamail from gatekeeper,
not x.org as I had thought.  The metamail 2.7 sources compile
cleanly (or near enough) on NetBSD (By the way, why is FreeBSD
so damn different?).  Elm 2.4pl23 is pre-compiled for 
NetBSD-Amiga and is at 
ftp://ftp.cs.umn.edu/pub/NetBSD-Amiga/elm-bin-2.4pl23.gz.  This
already has hooks to metamail, so we don't really have to worry
about recompiling elm (who did this in the first place?).
