Hello Cyrus IMAP team,

Thanks for the new release. While upgrading our RPMs I found two small
issues:

1) Old (ancient) GCC doesn't like some of the new code. A patch to fix the
issue is attached.

2) Old (ancient) zlib doesn't have the deflateBound() function. Looks like
at least zlib >= 1.2.x is needed. Maybe the zlib detection could also
check the version of the deflateBound() function?

For those interested, the package is available in the usual place

Regards,
Simon
