DR> It's a very minor problem.  In contrib/bogogrep.c, change "#ifdef

I solved it by removing the #ifndef and #endif all together ;) It did
give me a warning about comparing a pointer to an int on line 80
though but it all works! Great!

Oh, how do I wish I had a few days to implement this completely... But
it's monday already so it'll be only an hour here or there for the next
week. A well... :)

See you around! Good luck developing Bogofilter, we're going to need
it!
