[Dovecot] Building dovecot with SSL support on Solaris

[Andy Cravens]

What version of OpenSSL are you using?  I had this problem and it turned 
out to be a problem with OpenSSL.  I had originally installed OpenSSL 
0.9.8 and had the same problem you are having.  I had to go back to 
OpenSSL 0.9.7d and it worked fine with no other changes.  There might be 
a version between 0.9.7d and 0.9.8 but I didn't check because I already 
had the other version on the system.  There were some major changes in 
OpenSSL 0.9.8 and I didn't have time to sort them out so I went with an 
earlier version.
