Hello,

Now I finaly had success compiling the metadata plugin on archaic systems.
First I had to include dovecot.m4 in my dovecot-devel package.
This is unnessesary when building the pigeonhole plugin and so I did not notice my packaging fault.

After that I had to apply two patches to the metadata source.
1. Fix configure.ac
 - lower needed autoconf version
 - lower needed automake version
 - add libtool
 - don't use C99 extension

2. As my system have no C99 capable compiler I had to adjust the source
to move the declaration of loop variables outside the loops.

patch && compile && install && work

Thanks to all pointing me in the right direction...
Andreas
