The preprocessor directives are useful if used in a wise way, cc -E is
enough to clean the sources after you decided what you want.
By the way the patch-o-matic is another good alternative, personally I
don't know how it works in details, but it's not so important now.
I think that it's time to move this topic to an appropriate place, so
I set up a mailing list (with ezmlm of course :) and I'm inviting all
the people interested in this project to join sending a mail to:
iloveqmail-subscribe@pkcrew.org
This is intended to be a temporary mailing list to decide some basic
guidelines, to drive the join between my project and the new coders
involved and to start right now the work.
qmail is still alive! :)
