This update causes a large number of build failures:

  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/?reason=dovecot-2.2.27

Basically, dovecot no longer builds without OpenSSL support. The
configure error can be fixed by adding the attached patch (+ a
host-gettext dependency + autoreconf + creating m4). But then, the
build fails with:

In file included from test-http-client.c:12:0:
../../src/lib-ssl-iostream/iostream-openssl.h:6:25: fatal error: openssl/ssl.h: No such file or directory
 #include <openssl/ssl.h>

And http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg67930.html is
not very encouraging in terms of supporting the build of Dovecot
without OpenSSL.

So could you submit a patch that either fixes the build of Dovecot
without OpenSSL, or makes OpenSSL support mandatory?

Thanks,

Thomas
