Just from reading the thread I agree with Martin
that we should look into a fork if we need this c-client library.

Note that currently there is a new imap c++ library developed
(as part of our "prototype-e5" contract extending Kontact). This might be able 
to replace the c-client library, especially in situations where it actually 
is wrapped for access in an object oriented way.

BH (in cc) will post later where to find the library.
