build.log

Happened during a tatt build:

 * USE:        crypt doc elibc_glibc gdbm gpg gpgme hcache kernel_linux nntp pgp_classic sasl slang smime sparc ssl userland_GNU vanilla

configure: WARNING: SSL support is only useful with POP, IMAP or SMTP support
configure: error: SASL support is only useful with POP or IMAP support

looks like some REQUIRED_USE constraints are missing.

Btw: the configure like adds '--enable-gpgme' '--enable-gpgme'.

This is basically the same as #607360.  If we would add "ssl? ( || ( ... ) )" we would force people to set USE-flags for mutt.  The concensus was that packages should emerge with the default USE-flags (and we set ssl by default), so we cannot do this.
