I also forgot to mention one other thing. I noticed that the previous 
mimedefang package did build on one of my Solaris boxes because it was 
getting the include files from /usr/include/libmilter/*.h. I just happened to 
build my linux version on a system didn't have the sendmail-devel package 
installed. I suppose that could also be why this problem wasn't noticed 
during a test build phase.
