Emacs 'movemail' is now a configure-time option
The new configure option --with-mailutils lets the builder say that Emacs should assume that GNU Mailutils is installed, instead of continuing to build and install its own limited and insecure substitute for 'movemail'. * INSTALL, etc/NEWS, etc/PROBLEMS: Mention --with-mailutils. * configure.ac: Add --with-mailutils option. (with_mailutils): New variable. Do not bother configuring 'movemail' when not building it. Warn about issues relating to --with-mailutils. * doc/emacs/rmail.texi (Movemail): Mention --with-mailutils. (Movemail, Remote Mailboxes): Document port numbers in POP and IMAP URLs. * lib-src/Makefile.in (with_mailutils): New macro. (UTILITIES): Use it.
