A year-or-so ago I started working on my own version of MH, forked
from a then current nmh.  One of the goals for the version I'm doing
is to have a native (as much as is possible) Plan9 build; one that
gets along with upasfs and the plumber as much as possible.

So far most of the work has been cleaning up the code base. E.g.
ripping out all the GNU auto* build nonsense, and getting the code
to compile cleanly in a pure ANSI C environment.

Once that's finished it should be relatively straight forward to
add basic APE build support.  This is a couple of months out yet,
based on my current rate of progress :-(
