[Remind-Fans] build.tk programming compliment!

[Larry De Coste]

Good afternoon Dianne,

As probably most do, I updated to the recent version. Since I run
remind on a couple of different distros, I happened to be on a
Debian testing one (Sparky JWM) that didn't have remind running yet.

Rather than the configure route, I like running build.tk to upgrade.
But since I'm lazy, I modify the defaults to be my location.
However when I ran that modified version I still got the Ottawa
defaults.  Having done some programming myself, I looked through
the code to see where it could be pulling that from. I played with
modifying the custom.h.in and custom.h as well.

You can't imagine my surprise when, after that didn't change
anything, I examined the code more carefully to discover that you
delve into remind along $PATH to get its settings!! 
What had happened was that I had previously installed remind via
apt-get but had not run it yet on that distro so build.tk pulled
those defaults.

My admiration on your coding!! 

Be well,
Larry
