compiling Cyrus IMAP on Mac OS X 10.4.7

[David Korpiewski]

I found that the best way to build cyrus was using the darwinports of 
cyrus:  http://cyrus-imapd.darwinports.com/

For the latest version of cyrus, we couldn't build it.  OSX isn't part 
of the OS list supported in the configure script.  So we turned to linux 
instead which has proved to be a considerably more stable platform than 
OSX for mail.
