[gentoo-dev] nail ebuild

[Grant Goodyear]

I just added an ebuild for the nail mailer (a BSD /bin/mail
clone w/ MIME support).  Right now it works for me with
postfix installed as my sendmail clone, but only in sendmail
mode.  It gives me an error when using it in smtp mode,
and I haven't managed to track down the error yet.  It's probably
just a configuration (of my system, that is) problem, since it
looks like the problem is that the smtp_mta routine is called
with server=NULL.  Oops.  I should probably also add symlinks
to /bin/mail and /usr/bin/mail.  So, for the moment I've put it
in package.mask as unfinished.

On the other hand, at least nail is still supported, and it
configures and installs well.
