[Dovecot] ./configure and /or Makefile problem

[B.O.F.H.]

This is on OpenBSD 3.x.

I'll fully admit not being a savvy programmer and therefore unable to
suggest a decent resolution.

It seems that _something_ in either the main "configure" script or
one of the Makefile.in templates is causing the Makefiles in
src/auth and src/util to add two variables named "AUTH_CFLAGS" and
"AUTH_LIBS", which on first look makes sense.

Looking a bit deeper, they both contain variables in the format
"@VARNAME@" which I'm presuming _should_ have been replaced with
actual paths and/or "-l" statements during the configure process.

Those being:

AUTH_CFLAGS =  -I at includedir@ @INCLUDE_des@
AUTH_LIBS =  -L at libdir@ -lgssapi -lkrb5 -lasn1 @LIB_des_appl@
- - -lroken @LIB_crypt@ @LIB_dbopen@ @LIBS@  -L/usr/local/lib -lpq
- - -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lm

Two issues become apparent:

1 - Somehow, the unexpanded "@" variables are making it to the
    command line
2 - "-lroken" is a Linux specific library and is not found in most
    *BSD's.  Generally configure scripts replace it with "-lcrypto"
    on host OS detection.

This can be displayed by looking at the errors for both auth and util:

To get Dovecot to build, I manually went into both Makefiles, made
"AUTH_CFLAGS" empty and deleted all "@" references and "-lroken" in
"AUTH_LIBS" replacing them with "-lcrypto"

Once I did that, it built successfully and has not thrown any errors.

Don't hit the keys so hard, it hurts.
