 I have a lot of problems with the imap-uw port.

  * The comment in the portfile says the default is to enable SSL support
 and plaintext authentication. Why then is there an ssl_plain variant whose
 purpose is to enable SSL support and plaintext authentication?
  * The ssl_pam variant does everything the ssl_plain variant does, and
 more. These variants need to therefore either conflict or the ssl_pam
 variant needs to depend on the ssl_plain variant and remove the duplicate
 directives from itself.
  * The openssl dependency in the ssl_pam variant should be a port:-style
 dependency.
  * The default build.target is oxp; there's no need for the ssl_pam
 variant to set the build.target to oxp again.
  * The post-destroot message in the ssl_pam variant references Mac OS X
 10.3, an unsupported OS.
  * The nopwd variant deletes the nonexistent build.arg "SSLTYPE=unix".
 Perhaps this variant was meant to conflict with -- or require? -- the
 ssl_plain and/or ssl_pam variants?
  * To what mailbox format will new mailboxes default if neither the mbx
 nor the mix variant is selected? I would have expected all possible
 mailbox formats to be expressed as conflicting variants with one of them
 selected via default_variants.
