What a coincidence.  This is exactly what I am doing. I got a really 
snotty letter from Shapiro with something along the lines of "you, of 
course, are on your own"... so be it... I solved my problems myself.  
Serious jerk.  Unix bigot.

 I think I am doing it right, but now I am trying to get bind to compile, 
since I am using a binary distribution that I don't really trust.  I have 
never been a sendmail user, so this is kind of the hard way to learn 
how to use a package.

Make sure you have libdb.a as your 3.1 library in /lib and Build 
seems to want db.h both in /usr/include and /usr/include/db3.  If you 
have this, then Build will do the rest, defining -DNEWDB.

If you want, I can send you my CYGWIN_NT-4.0 and the Build that 
I had to hack up a bit to get around the stupid translations to WINNT.

I can't get mail.local to build because it needs F_LOCK
