Clawsker - A Claws Mail Tweaker

Clawsker is a Perl-GTK applet to edit hidden preferences for Claws Mail,
and to do it in a safe and user friendly way, preventing users from raw
editing of configuration files.

make install PREFIX=/usr

Optionally you can provide also a DESTDIR as a root tree for the installation.

You can run the test suite with:

make test

If running test suite fails please report a bug with all the messages
printed by the above command, the versions of Perl and the version of
Clawsker dependencies you're using.
