Problem compiling cirus-imapd-2.2 (cvs 22042003)

[Vittorio Manfredini]

With this patch seem work fine. Maybe the problem are aTHX_ and pTHX_ macro
definitions.

I tried it on Mandrake 9.0/9.1 and SuSE 8.1 and I don't founf problems compiling
cyrus-imapd.

Thanks

vittorio

P.S.
There are 3 month that I have a machine with cyrus-imapd2.2 running on it (ok
not a lot of user ..) and I setup on it 3 domains and some shared folders.
Is the same machine that receive the message for this and others mailing lists
adn I found very little problem that was fixed on next relese.
