It would be nice to add GSSAPI support by default to Dovecot by adding '--with-gssapi' to the configure flags in the PKGBUILD, and heimdal to its dependencies. Why?

1. For instance, passwordless Kerberos authentication (via tickets) would be possible out-of-the box.

2. OpenSSH, for example, already has heimdal as dependency and GSSAPI enabled by default; it would be good to be consistent with this and almost any server using Dovecot will thus already have heimdal installed (as OpenSSH is very common).
This task depends upon

This support is added in dovecot 1.0.13-1, in testing, which will come out whenever postgresql 8.3.x is done
