This page on compiling cyrus-imapd:

  https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/developer/compiling.html

shows a number of build dependencies; however I was just able to compile cyrus-imapd without these installed:

   gperf
   libbsd


Are these actually necessary?

Later in the page, under "Alternate database formats" it shows the configure flags to use in order to use mysql/mariadb as a backend for cyrus databases. I think this is needed if one plans to use virtual domains, but I couldn't get a confirmation on this. In any case, the configure options are given as

 --with-mysql, --with-mysql-incdir, --with-mysql-libdir

with no clear indication of what each of these does. For example, is the --with-mysql all inclusive, or does one need to set all 3?

Finally a couple of items in the "Other" category are a real head scratcher. For example, what is the purpose of net-snmp?

libnghttp2 is listed as needed for "HTTP/2 support for httpd" -- what's using httpd? Is this to faciliate CalDAV/CardDAV?
