cyrus-sasl: cmulocal/ direcotry and pkg-config

[Dilyan Palauzov]

Hello,

while we are on cyrus-sasl issues:

Does the change of the ABI in cyrus-sasl require changes in  
cyrus-imapd?  I guess no, since it was reported that the ABI changed  
in 2.1.24 and I use 2.1.25.  But anyway, would it be possible to use  
pkg-config with cyrus-sasl 2.1.26, that installs a file  
$(pkgdatadir)/cyrus-sasl.pc, so that cyrus-imapd and other packages  
can use pkg-config`s autoconf macros to check for the version of  
cyrus-imapd ?  If yes, I can provide patches for pkg-config support on  
cyrus-sasl .

If cyrus-sasl 2.1.26 uses pkg-config, would it be acceptable for  
cyrus-imapd 2.5 to require cyrus-sasl 2.1.26 <=> replace the autoconf  
macros for finding cyrus-imapd with the pkg-config-autoconf macros  
PKG_CHECK_MODULES?

What is the rule to update the cmulocal/ directory in cyrus-imapd?  I  
have read somewhere that it is shared between cyrus-imapd and  
cyrus-sasl, but despite of this I have put in  
cyrus-imapd:master/cmulocal AS_HELP_STRING to AC_ARG_ENABLE and  
AC_ARG_WITH . What is the procedure to update the cyrus-imapd/cmulocal  
directory, if it is shared with cyrus-sasl?

Greetings
   Dilian
