2.2.17.rc1 will compile on FBSD 10.1 only, if bash has been installed (see <554773D2.9060609 at 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 at 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!
