[Dovecot] v1.1.16 released

[Timo Sirainen]

ChangeLog contains somewhat more exact entries. But I don't think many  
people care about the exact reason. For example the last 3 could have  
been instead (their hg commit messages):

  - Maildir: Use i_stream_stat() instead of i_stream_get_fd()+fstat().  
Fixes zlib plugin.
  - Maildir: Make sure messages are removed from index if they are  
deleted externally from new/.
  - message header parser: Don't set hdr->continues=TRUE when hdr- 
 >eoh=TRUE.

But no one would have any idea what last 2 of those would be useful for.
