Aha.  Should've realised that.  *d'oh*

Ok.  So I configured it how I wanted it, then I made all the little
incantations that make install asked for, but I *still* can't get
foreign language support working (let's not even get started on
alternate charsets).  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I should be able to
type

  setenv LANG fr
  ./mutt

and have mutt give most/all messages to me in French, yes?  I guess my
question just boils down to, is there a list somewhere of

  * what files mutt needs
  * where it needs them
  * how it finds them  <-- this seems to be the tricky one....

For example, I have installed all the .mo files in
/cs/share/mutt/locale/$lang/LC_MESSAGES/ ; and I recompiled the intl
code with -DLOCALEDIR="/cs/share/locale", and made sure that mutt was
linked with that version of the intl library... what more do I need to
do?
