Using this isn't really any better than using a random snapshot that
arch linux has prepared.

We could use openbsd as upstream but then we need to embed some script
in the APKBUILD that could cvs checkout the openbsd source and prepare
a source tarball for us - and add patches for make.

I'd rather switch to s-nail or heirloom-mailx.
