from Gunnar Ritter):
* A missing #ifdef HAVE_ICONV caused build errors on platforms without
iconv() support (J.A. Neitzel, Jens Schleusener, Lars Kellogg-Stedman,
Felicia Neff, Chris Pinnock).
* Extraction of parts from header fields with more than 2560 characters
fixed (Lukasz Sznuk, William Cherry).
* Source archive name in nail.spec corrected (Didar Hussain).
* Fixed segmentation violation when encountering multipart header fields
that contain no ':' character (William Cherry).
* Respect the 'allnet' variable when comparing strings in message lists.
* IPv6 support (Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino).
Changes excerpted from ${WRKSRC}/CHANGES-beta.

Lots of updates from Ben Wing (as always), also from Andy Piper, Mike
Sperber, and Stephen Turnbull with lots of documentation updates and
fixes. One new exciting addition in this release is that the LDAP and
PostgreSQL code has been extracted out of the core C code and moved to
DSO's. We have Jerry James to thank/blame/worship for that.
