This seems rather extreme given the source code changes are changing
"995" to another number (src/c-client/pop3.c line 35 of imap-2004
release).  And it appears that you might be able to get away with
simply changing the pop3s line in /etc/services.

Neither is it overly complicated.  Certainly less hassle than stunnel
was (I have used it for imap over SSL before uw-imap supported SSL -
builtin support is *so* much better).
