[Dovecot] dovecot-lda: problems compiling

[Bob Gustafson]

The command to fix is 'up2date gettext', not 'update gettext'

Yes, I reported it. The fix is to do 'update gettext' and then recreate
the dovecot and dovecot-lda directories from cvs (do 'co' command) and
go through the autogen process again. You will not that the AM_ICONV
diagnostic is not there any more (gettext fixed that one).

You many get a diagnostic from the dovecot-lda autogen stage that a file
config.in.am (I am doing this from memory - may be slightly off) is
missing. If you look at the directory, that file has been generated, but
too late to avoid the diagnostic. Just repeat the autogen step.

You should be able to go ahead and do the configure, make, make install,
steps.

I haven't had the time to finish these steps myself and write it up, but
give it a try.
