The INSTALL file is very Linux-specific (talking about required versions of
glibc, for example).

I run FreeBSD 5.4 and I note:

"Fetchmail has had serious grief from buggy versions of the gettext suite.
If your version is older than 1.10.40, you should use the configure
option --with-included-gettext'."

I have package gettext-0.14.1 installed, and the one in the ports tree is
currently 0.14.5. Any indication of the compatibility of those? It seems to
work for me, but then again, I'm not translating into any non-English
language.

Separate point: it might be worth documenting how to set up certificate
verification. I always have to rummage through the OpenSSL source to find
out how to do this. For reference I did the following:

- mkdir /etc/openssl/certs
- from the openssl/certs directory: cp *.pem /etc/openssl/certs/
- in the openssl/tools directory: edit c_rehash and set $dir = "/etc/ssl"
  then run "perl c_rehash"
- in .fetchmailrc, set option "sslcertpath /etc/ssl/certs"

Brian.
