I emerged uw-imap, and then discovered that it sets up xinetd configs but
doesn't *require* xinetd, so it doesn't install in a state capable of being
started automatically as expected.  Should uw-imap then have a requirement
for xinetd?

I'm not 100% sure xinetd is the way this is supposed to work, so if uw-imap
isn't supposed to run in xinetd on gentoo - then my bad.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. On fresh system (I am using gentoo-gs), emerge uw-imap
2. then "telnet localhost imap3", discover no imap
3. "man xinetd", "man inetd", discover no xinetd
4. "emerge xinetd", "rc-update add xinetd", "/etc/init.d/xinetd start"
5. change disable=yes to disable=no in imap conf
6. "telnet localhost imap", get an IMAP connection
Actual Results:  
Seems to be working, have retrieved email

Expected Results:  
Probably should have required xinetd, so that "emerge uw-imap" would
have also merged xinetd.

Oh, uh, "killall -USR2 xinetd" after step 6 in reproduction instructions

I'll add a RDEPEND on virtual/inetd, which will bring in xinetd.
