dovecot - Apr 2013 - [PATCHES] NetBSD support, authentication buffer size

Hi

Here are a few unintegrated patches, just tested against 2.2rc7:

1) NetBSD's getmntinfo uses struct statvfs while other BSD use struct statfs
http://ftp.espci.fr/shadow/manu/patch-ak

2) NetBSD  5.x net_getunixcred() support. Build on NetBSD, but not tested
(I am testing on NetBSD 6.0):
http://ftp.espci.fr/shadow/manu/patch-src_lib_net.c

3) Increase authentication buffer size so that it can cope with 
unusual authentication scheme. This patch was integrated in dovecot-1.x
but did not make its way in dovecot-2.x

OK, I'll add these.

By this I think you don't mean special authentication mechanisms, or even
AUTHENTICATE PLAIN mechanism, but you mean that someone is using LOGIN command
in such a kludgy way that the password field is over 1024 bytes long? I'm
not very interested in supporting that, at least without a good reason.

I tried to add a configuration option for that, but dovecot design
makes a good job at separating master and login structures, hence
The Right Way is not obvious. Anu suggestion?
