Here are a few unintegrated patches, just tested against 2.2rc7:

1. NetBSD's getmntinfo uses struct statvfs while other BSD use struct statfs http://ftp.espci.fr/shadow/manu/patch-ak

2. NetBSD 5.x net_getunixcred() support. Build on NetBSD, but not tested (I am testing on NetBSD 6.0): http://ftp.espci.fr/shadow/manu/patch-src_lib_net.c

OK, I'll add these.

3. Increase authentication buffer size so that it can cope with unusual authentication scheme. This patch was integrated in dovecot-1.x but did not make its way in dovecot-2.x http://ftp.espci.fr/shadow/manu/patch-src_lib-master_master-auth.h

By this I think you don't mean special authentication mechanisms, or even AUTHENTICATE PLAIN mechanism, but you mean that someone is using LOGIN command in such a kludgy way that the password field is over 1024 bytes long? I'm not very interested in supporting that, at least without a good reason.
