The --with-imap option, unlike all the other configure script options,
will _NOT_ search your system for the IMAP toolkit libraries. If you
don't specify a path where they can be found it assumes that you have
unpacked and built the c-client sources at a directory parallel to the
asterisk-1.4 directory.

Generally speaking, because the c-client library is a static library (we
don't use the shared library version), it's better to just unpack the
sources and do the simple build and then let Asterisk link against it.
I'll update the configure script help text to hopefully make this clearer.
