I was changing things in procmail-3.22-7/SmartList/install.sh and
install.sh3 and seeing what happened. That is, intervention
without understanding.

It depends on what you mean by cleanly. To get it to build (with no root privileges) involved the problem of .exe on executables and hardwiring in directory names and the like that the shell script couldn't get right.

It is/was working, sending out copies of submissions and
un/subscribing people from the list. So it does build against
your patched 3.22.
However, I had to build my own procmail executable from your
source code. And the C program parts of SmartList don't exist in
SmartList-3.15 or procmail-3.22. You have to look for them in
procmail-3.15.
