There's a bug in .28 that wasn't discovered until after it was marked
stable where if the vusagec.conf file is not in ~vpopmail/etc, tools
trying to utilize the vusage client API would cause a segfault.

5.4.29 addresses this, and some other smaller issues.  If you want to
fix it locally for the time being, create ~vpopmail/etc/vusagec.conf.

In 5.4, it was meant as an add-on, and so, even though it's packaged
along with vpopmail, it required vpopmail be installed to compile.

Please provide the compile-time errors you're seeing.
