Yes, I (we) have been trying to move in that direction.  So perhaps it's
a step in the wrong direction to support non-posix shells, when Mutt
already requires a new compiler, SSL libraries, etc.

I think because the change is so tiny, I don't mind bending a bit.  I've
already pushed a change to [-r], but if there turn out to be issues I'll
go with your suggestion, Derek.

Paul, for everyone's curiosity, is this the only issue you've hit with
compilation?  Also, what system are you running?
