Quite simply, one may want OpenSSL for, say, ssh, but *not* want an SSL-enabled imapd. Linux is partly about choice, and making a decision based upon the presence or absence of build- and run-time support, without providing a way to turn the feature off *regardless* of the presense of absence of such support takes away user's choices. People like to have choice. Let me ask this: how hard would it be to make courier's ./configure accept a --without-ssl switch? Probably not very hard. Would you accept a patch to courier that adds said option? (I am not volunteering to code it, although I probably could, I am just asking.) -- Ensign Walnut approaches Dr. Crusher with caution...
