problems with imap and imsp installation

[Ted Fines]

I should take the credit sounding like a the broken record, e.g. 
complaining about something without getting specific enough for anything 
constructive to happen.

It's been a while since I tried to install those packages.  I'll try 
getting it all working again this summer.  Maybe then I'll have something 
to offer.
