Summary:                    Should be able to dynamically link against
libc-client for IMAP storage
Description: 
Currently, "configure" allows you only to link against libc-client (for
IMAP storage) statically.

On Debian, we have the libc-client2006j2 package which only provides a
shared object for us to link against.
That's the correct behavior for the obvious benefits that dynamic linking
has.

Attached is a simple patch that we have in our tree for "configure.ac"
(it's for "configure" too, so that we don't have to run autoconf and
diverge too much from upstream sources) that switches to -lc-client.

The linker will dynamically link if a .so is found or will switch to
static linking if only .a is found.
I can see no reason why your scripts were looking c-client.a under
${IMAP_TK_DIR}/c-client/ but if there's a good reason, you should probably
add -L${IMAP_TK_DIR}/c-client to the link options to keep old behavior.

Well, I'm not currently able to provide a patch against trunk because of
lack of time.
But it *is* a bug and it is confirmed.
I don't understand why it should be closed without being fixed
(eventually).
