imap support is needed for other packages to work.

there is an static library that could be used on a -devel
package for linking with packages the need imap support
(php comes to mind)

the only thing that is really needed is to copy the
c-client.a library to /usr/lib and copy the include files to
/usr/include/imap, hopefully, we could have a .so imap
library soon

on every package that needs imap support adding -I
/usr/include/imap and /usr/lib/c-client.a to source files
will be all what is needed.  actually, i am crossposting a
bug for php package for adding this link and taking the full
source out of spec.

the following should be added to imap.spec to get this
package

%package devel
