OPT_POP3=y;make all
config
. ./au;echo all;${MAKE} internal_

I mean, _if_ the FIFO does not exist then "the server exited
gracefully", which it would not do upon crash, no? Just ignore
ENOENT thus? What do you say?
Btw if it would be me, i would pass that via environment
variables, which makes a natural connection to a server and its
child clients. I mean, Linux and GNU LibC now make (some aspects
of) environment inaccessible for root aka SUID i think (E?UID
mismatches, issetuid or what-do-i-know, but this hardly is
a problem for GNU make.
I want to point out that this build system works with _all_ known
environments back to Y2K (*BSD, Linux, Solaris, [UnixWare 7.1.4]).
