Is it "-e" or "-E"?  I have been trying to use "-E" since that what it
says in the man page, but maybe it's supposed to be lowercase?  For some
reason the openpkg build command is not acknowledging my "-E" exclusions
or the "-H" hints.  To my understanding of these options, I should be
able to have multiple "-E" and/or "-H" arguments followed by a package
name.  Therefore, if I didn't ever want to install ksh or zsh and I
prefer sendmail as my mailer daemon, I would use something like "-E ksh
-E zsh -H sendmail", right?  This should never do anything in regards to
ksh or zsh and it should pick sendmail when building an MTA while
ignoring the other potential MTAs.  Is that how this works?  Because
it's not working like this for me.  Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?
