New description:

 The current ports of maildrop 2.0.2 and courier-imap 4.1.0 both attempt to
 install the following files:
 {{{
 ${prefix}/bin/deliverquota
 ${prefix}/share/man/deliverquota.8.gz
 ${prefix}/bin/maildirmake
 ${prefix}/share/man/maildirmake.1.gz
 }}}
 This results in the installation of one blocking the installation of the
 other.

 The attached patch is an attempt to solve this problem by simply providing
 maildrop with the option of not installing the conflicting files.
 (Although maildrop can be configured with a --disable-maildirquota flag,
 this alters the source so that maildrop is built without maildirquota
 support, and some users might still want this.)  This patch has not yet,
 however, been tested (I don't yet feel confident to set up such a mail
 system, let alone that I would test it properly.)  It might be better to
 provide a similar variant for courier-imap as well, or indeed a more
 elegant solution than I can think of.

 This ticket has been assigned to macports-dev at lists.macosforge.org as
 neither the listed maintainer for maildrop (matt at tnpi.biz) not that for
 courier-imap (bchesneau at mac.com) are on the list of possible ticket
 assignees.

 The attached patch to the dports tree is designed to be applied with the
 -p1 option (or -Np1) from the dports directory.
