It does sound useful, but your reference to config.h sounds like this 
survey might only identify components present and maybe not revisions 
that have been made to any of each of these: some nntp's have 
authentication and some smtp's have esmtp. And then there are 
additional matters such as command line rescroll and better ppp 
negotiation as well as bug reductions.

I would welcome a comprehensive catalogue which revealed all of these 
aspects for each offering.

Might I suggest that, in addition to the compile and link recipe, 
some space be given to unstructured comments for each nos until such 
time as a suitable structure can be designed.

Regards,
