Well, it would certainly need to be fixed.
The way it's installer is distributed is
alos not the Regular Way, being a tarball of source RPMs of a bunch of perl
modules, an installer script (which rebuilds all of the Perl RPMs from source
RPM, to get everything in the right place), and a binary RPM of the tnef
code. I had to track down and rebuild the tnef RPM for my SPARC box, but
intel users don't have that problem.
That would all have to be regularized, which shouldn't be a big deal,
if the whole point of that mess is to adapt it to the installation
environment. If that environment becomes a constant, then that whole
rigamarole isn't useful.
