Ah, that reminds me of the problems I had building elm for aix ps/2.  The
configure script tries to figure out whether to include <time.h> or 
<sys/time.h> or both, but it gets it wrong for aix.  

I've forgotten which way around it was, but if you look in config.h you should
find either #define or #undef for I_TIME and I_SYSTIME.  Make them
both be #define and it should compile OK.

I didn't do anything about it, since Elm does look for a MAIL environment
variable first, and this is set to the $HOME/.newmail by default. 
But it would be better to have it know about where the default mail boxes 
are without depending on this.  Probably not a difficult fix.
