Bug Description
A ELPA package would make VM easier to install and maintain.
A issue is the C encode/decode programs. I don't believe ELPA has any mechanism to compile C code. However, they have no dependencies beyond the C library, which means the only configuration requirement is the C compiler itself.

Hi Mark, I would appreciate help in creating the ELPA package. The binary converter problems are not needed any more.
However, the VM build currently recommends linking in bbdb and emacs-w3m support during compilation. You might try building it without the linking and see how well it works. See vm-build.el in the lisp directory for how the compilation is managed current.
