That would work too. So I should also install a symlink to mailq, then.

In the Makefile.linux, I currently just symlink the source file from
DragonFly's libc. Not sure what should be done -- those files are
*really* part of libc anyway. I'd say just leave them there. If dma
gets separated out into its own module, then provided the tarballs are
generated on a machine that has the full dfly git repo somewhere, just
script it so these two files get added to the archive.
