Sadly, it is not so simple (though it might be almost so).  For
licensing reasons, Git in Debian cannot be linked against OpenSSL, so
we need to use another SSL library. [1]

Luckily, there is an SSL library that we can use, under the LGPL.  Its
API is almost identical [2]; someone just needs to modify imap-send.c
and the Makefile to use it.  I can send you a Makefile patch if you
want to work on imap-send.c; what do you say?
