[Dovecot] Building dovecot with SSL support on Solaris

[Jeff A. Earickson]

I'm running openssl 0.9.8 on all of my Solaris 9 and 10 systems with
no problems, tied in with dovecot, openssh, sendmail, bunches of
other code.  Note that I've built openssl and most of these other
codes with Sun's Studio 8 compiler, but I also had no problems using
gcc 4.0.1 either.
