Yeah, they're better decoupled than they used to be, but we can make
it so the configure script will look for them in separate directories
as well.

Great.  That did get left out of the distribution.  Okay, sounds like
we'll be seeing a 1.3.1 soon.  Until then, it's attached to this mail
(hopefully the attachment will survive the mail list system; I haven't
tried that before).

That's FLG#, the REQADM main option flag variable.  (46=F 4C=L 47=G 23=#)
If your file is missing that, there's a lot of things that aren't going to\ 
work.  The default that ships with REQADM is:

FLG#=%000110011-000000000000011111---

Thanks for the diffs.  We'll start a "NetBSD" configure option with
those.

A true-type font library.  It's not used directly by REQADM, but one
of the other graphics libs used to complain if it wasn't included
as well.  If you get a clean compile without it, you don't need it.
