On older Mac OS X (10.2.8), no socklen_t is defined, and therefore
daemon.c does not compile. However, Mac OS X 10.4 seems to define
socklen_t differently.

Also, linking fails due to some symbols defined in libssl (not just
libcrypto).

Hmph.  While I would want things to be portable, I prefer to
avoid platform specific #ifdef and conditional Makefile
constructs.

I'll keep this in the proposed updates queue until somebody
comes up with a bit cleaner solution.

By the way, Johannes, what mailer do you use?  Many of your
patches seem to be whitespace damaged.  For example:

> diff --git a/daemon.c b/daemon.c

The empty line before daemon_usage[] line should start with a
single SP but your message does not seem to have it.  I double
checked with the copy marc has:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=112256286508546&q=raw

Agreed. That's why I put in "RFD", not "PATCH"

Why, I use pine! The whitespace could be the consequence of a very tired
yours truly doing copy and paste. Anyway, this was not really meant as a
patch, but rather as documentation of my thoughts.

Ciao,
