FWIW, the easiest way to get Pine on a Debian system is to download the
Linux binaries from the UW FTP site:

	ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/

They're in unix-bin or unix-bin-compressed, depending on which you prefer.
IMO it would be cool to have a package which pulls Pine, et al., from the
aforementioned UW site, but I'm not dependent enough on those packages to
make it worthwhile.

Also, if you're in it for Pico more than Pine, you might want to check out
GNU Nano, a dead-on clone of Pico, which actually is in Woody. That way,
you can get updates whenever it becomes necessary.

If you really want to rebuild source, you'll have to ask someone else. :P
