   Hmm, there must be another dependency, as I get an error:   
      
   $ make   
   cc -c -W -Wall -g -I../xmsgapi/src -funsigned-char -DUNIX akamatch.c   
   In file included from port.h:8:0,   
                    from akamatch.c:8:

   compilation terminated.   
   Makefile:15: recipe for target 'akamatch.o' failed

   Looks like there's some library for handling FTN messages needed, going by that   
   error message.

   I used to run both Fmail and Fastecho (at different times) back in the day.    
   But I remember using Netmgr on *.msg netmails, rather than directly from the   
   messagebase.  In my case, a lot of the netmail I processed was in transit from   
   GIGO to other FTN systems besides mine.  Sure, I ran Hudson for netmail (had no   
   choice back then) and JAM for almost all of my echomail, but the format of   
   netmail storage was a moot point, IIRC, because I did my processing at an   
   intermediate stage.
