>Description:
	In the default install of SqWebMail 3.3.1, some files apparently are missing, most notably: makemime, mimegpg, and reformime. Also worth noting, when signing and/or encrypting messages with GPG, SqWebMail expects mimegpg to be in /usr/pkg/bin and the install script apparently installs it in /usr/pkg/libexec/courier/sqwebmail. These files are build during make, just installed in the wrong places or not at all. It seems the manpages or anything else relating to these files (libs, etc) are build as well, but not installed.

Below is correspondance with the author:

Both errors are due to the same root cause: your sqwebmail installation is
corrupt, and is missing at least two necessary programs: makemime and
mimegpg.

I see that one of the error messages refers to â^À^Ü/usr/pkg/bin/makemimeâ^À^Ý.

There's nothing in the default sqwebmail configuration that gets installed
in /usr/pkg/bin.  The makemime program, for example, gets installed as
/usr/local/share/sqwebmail/libexec/sqwebmail/makemime.

You must've either used a parameter to the configure script that specifies
non-default installation directories for these support programs, or you've
used someone else's pre-built packages.

If you are using someone else's pre-built packages, report this error to
them.  Otherwise, if you've installed sqwebmail yourself, simply rerun 'make
install' to install the missing files, after investigating what happened to
them in the first place.

	I'm guessing the install script, but not sure the exact parameters to change.
