[Dovecot] libwrap-ing IMAP and POP logins
Since I've been using this for maybe a year now, maybe someone else is interested in restricting IMAP and POP logins via libwrap.
In addition to the attached patch (against 1.0.5) to src/login-common/main.c, src/{imap,pop3}-login/Makefile.in have to be modified to link against libwrap. Of course, the option needs to be integrated into configure in the long run.
Just to know: is there simply no interest in libwrap-ing dovecot or is there a better way to do it or is my patch considered inadequate?
I'm just somewhat tired in adjusting my local patch for every new dovecot version integrated into NetBSD's pkgsrc.

I also wrote libwrap patch a few years ago: http://dovecot.org/patches/1.0/tcp-wrappers.patch
The problem is that it doesn't work when login process is chrooted, so I thought there's no point in including support for it.
I was thinking about adding support for this in Dovecot v2.0 using some kind of a separate non-chrooted daemon.
