Please test especially non-Linux systems as there are some larger configure/Makefile changes done since v2.2.16.
2.2.17.rc1 will compile on FBSD 10.1 only, if bash has been installed (see 554773D2.9060609@dovecot.fi from Teemu Huovila). This is from my point of view regarding portability issues "suboptimal". Both, word-break-data.sh and word-boundary-data.sh have comments about preferable use awk, perl, or … instead, IIRC. Teemu himself already mentioned in 554773D2.9060609@dovecot.fi that this is suboptimal, and that he is willing to solve that issue, thus, I am extremely far from blaming anyone involved in making this great software available. But, maybe it's worth solving this issue for those non-linux systems without bash installed per default before releasing dovecot v2.2.17, finally.
Besides that: Thanks for all of you involved making dovecot available!

For what its worth, I run FreeBSD 10.1 and I have Bash. Personally, I could not work without it. It is not a big deal to install it on FreeBSD. My question is does it have to be the default shell in dovecot v2.2.17 or just installed?
