Hi,

Does anyone know why configure.acc forces -lbz2 -lgz -lrt when
compiling in Kyoto Cabinet support? It isn't needed by Mailutils,
as it uses no functions of those libraries, and none of them are
declared as "Libs" in Kyoto/Tokyo Cabinet pkg-config definition.

The attached patch just removes this, and the build succeeds as
normal in Debian.

Description: Do not set hardcoded DEPENDENCIES for tokyo or kyoto cabinet.
 Tokyo Cabinet and Kyoto Cabinet support force the inclusion of -lz -lbz2
 and -lrt into DEPENDENCIES, while none of the symbols in those libraries
 are used. Avoid hardcoding them and let both libs decide what needs to
 be added to DBMLIBS.
