Anthy module for m17n-lib allows ja-anthy.mim to support input conversion.
Font layout library for complex text rendering.
A GNU implementation of the traditional UNIX macro processor. M4 is useful for writing text files which can be logically parsed, and is used by many programs as part of their build process. M4 has built-in functions for including files, running shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc. The autoconf program needs m4 for generating configure scripts, but not for running configure scripts. Install m4 if you need a macro processor.
The mailcap file is used by the metamail program. Metamail reads the mailcap file to determine how it should display non-text or multimedia material. Basically, mailcap associates a particular type of file with a particular program that a mail agent or other program can call in order to handle the file. Mailcap should be installed to allow certain programs to be able to handle non-text files. Also included in this package is the mime.types file which contains a list of MIME types and their filename "extension" associations, used by several applications e.g. to determine MIME types for filenames.
Mailx is an enhanced mail command, which provides the functionality of the POSIX mailx command, as well as SysV mail and Berkeley Mail (from which it is derived). Additionally to the POSIX features, mailx can work with Maildir/ e-mail storage format (as well as mailboxes), supports IMAP, POP3 and SMTP procotols (including over SSL) to operate with remote hosts, handles mime types and different charsets. There are a lot of other useful features, see mailx(1). And as its ancient analogues, mailx can be used as a mail script language, both for sending and receiving mail. Besides the "mailx" command, this package provides "mail" and "Mail" (which should be compatible with its predecessors from the mailx-8.x source), as well as "nail" (the initial name of this project).

A GNU tool for controlling the generation of executables and other non-source files of a program from the program's source files. Make allows users to build and install packages without any significant knowledge about the details of the build process. The details about how the program should be built are provided for make in the program's makefile.
This utility creates a bootable FAT filesystem and populates it with files and boot tools. It was mainly designed to create bootable USB and Fixed disk for the AdvanceCD project (http://advancemame.sourceforge.net), but can be successfully used separately for any purposes.
