But if pine is going to be in the release as an IMAP client, people
will eventually get screwed by this anyway.  How about making pine be
a script that tells people they need to either run pine-imap or
pine-afs and that pine-imap will become the default (although run out
of the release not the SIPB locker) in a few months.
