When building the bz2 library from source, the .so shared library is
not built by default.  It also appears that when forcing the shared
library of libbz2 to be built, the compile process fails under
Solaris8 without some sort of modifications.  Ugh.

Does dovecot require a shared version of the libbz2 library to compile
correctly?  Is there no way to statically link this?  

Or, alternatively, is there a way to shut off this libbz2 plugin
completely in the configure script?
