It still failed. I expected it would, as this is OS X, not FreeBSD,
and that line should only alter things if we're running FreeBSD.

On a hunch, though, I added |*darwin* to the case statement, and it
got past the encrypt error only to blow up when it claimed that
libetpan isn't present. (It is present, and everything worked fine
under 3.14.0...)

Ideas here? Is adding "|*darwin*" to the case the right thing? (I
have no idea what this library call it is looking for is even for.)
Ideas on how to fix the libetpan failure? The errors are here.

] checking whether to use libetpan... yes
] checking for libetpan-config... /opt/local/bin/libetpan-config
] checking libetpan/libetpan.h usability... yes
] checking libetpan/libetpan.h presence... yes
] checking for libetpan/libetpan.h... yes
] checking whether libetpan-config hints compiles and links fine... no
] *** Claws Mail requires libetpan 0.57 or newer. See http://www.etpan.org/ 
] *** You can use --disable-libetpan if you don't need IMAP4 and/or NNTP support.
