Apart from the mechanism in the how-to,  if you can utilise configure
it is preferred.

You still need to edit:

	user/Makefile
	config/config.in
	config/Configure.help
	user/mutt/Makefile (or makefile is Makefile exists)

as per the HOWTO, but you should look at the Makefiles in:

	user/ethtool
	user/wget
	user/grep

for how to use configure within the dist. Hopefully mutt has a suitably
advanced configure to handle building outside the source tree ;-)

Cheers,
