That's a possibility. I think the "native" option is more widely used than
"generic" though. Codeblocks or gcc (5.1.1 I believe) didn't like it and
suggested I use native.

Once I realized I originally grabbed the "CodeBlocks" tree that was Windows
specific, I went back and grabbed the "linux" tree which contained the correct
.cbp files I needed. Had I ran into any issues compiling fmail and ftools,
though.. I'd be scratching my head a bit, I'm sure.

I know. I had a gleam of hope in my eye, which disappeared pretty fast.

Meh, piece of cake. 

When I have some time, I'll go through FConfig (already installed on Windows)
and fill in the blanks to get a config file I can copy over to the pi for some
more testing.

Regards,
Nick
