Hmm, there must be another dependency, as I get an error:

$ make
cc -c -W -Wall -g -I../xmsgapi/src -funsigned-char -DUNIX akamatch.c
In file included from port.h:8:0,

compilation terminated.
Makefile:15: recipe for target 'akamatch.o' failed

Looks like there's some library for handling FTN messages needed, going by that
error message.

I used to run both Fmail and Fastecho (at different times) back in the day. 
But I remember using Netmgr on *.msg netmails, rather than directly from the
messagebase.  In my case, a lot of the netmail I processed was in transit from
GIGO to other FTN systems besides mine.  Sure, I ran Hudson for netmail (had no
choice back then) and JAM for almost all of my echomail, but the format of
netmail storage was a moot point, IIRC, because I did my processing at an
intermediate stage.
