Subject: FYI: compiling Imap4 Beta for BSd/OS 2.1

Anyone who is trying to compile Imap4 BETA from ftp.cac.washington.edu on
BSD/OS should be aware that one bug in the /usr/bin/false command.  The
makefile calls the script in src/afs/afs-patches and it passes a command called
"false" (or true if you have AFS).  Apparently false is not behaving the
correct way, so this script always includes the AFS includes and vars to build
the c-client makefile.  BSD/OS compilation will choke on this.

The solution is simple, just comment out everything in the afs-patches script
file and you're on your way.  I'm not sure why /usr/sbin/false is not working,
I'll probably look into the BSD/OS 2.1 source on the cdrom tomorrow.
