* There was an inverted test in the rc.d scripts that was causing them to
fail on newer NetBSD systems.
* Install the rc.d scripts under ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d, not in ${PREFIX}/etc.

in the package Makefile since we substitute for @SSLCERTS@ anyway.
* Add the *.rand files to the list of files to DEINSTALL.
* Explicitly disable the PAM, LDAP, and MySQL authentication modules so
that hidden dependencies aren't accidentally added to the build.
XXX - These should probably be added in via make variables (USE_PAM,
XXX - USE_LDAP, etc.) in the future, but aren't needed for now in the
XXX - base package.

four scripts (courier-{imap,imaps,pop,pops}) that are rc.d-style scripts
to start/stop the various Courier IMAP and POP3 services. They were
modelled after the samba scripts which may be invoked on systems without
rc.d.

Courier-IMAP is a server that provides IMAP access to Maildirs. This IMAP
server does NOT handle traditional mailbox files (/var/spool/mail, and
derivatives), it was written for the specific purpose of providing IMAP
access to Maildirs.
"Maildir" is a directory-based mail storage format originally introduced
in the Qmail mail server, and adopted as an alternative mail storage
format by both Exim and Postfix. Courier-IMAP is popular on
Qmail/Exim/Postfix sites that are configured to use maildirs. The primary
advantage of maildirs is that multiple applications can access the same
Maildir simultaneously without requiring any kind of locking whatsoever.
It is a faster and more efficient way to store mail. It works particularly
well over NFS, which has a long history of locking-related woes.
