why are remote{user, host} required even though I am using a preauth tunnel?

[Justus Winter]

Hey everyone :)

I recently gave the git head a spin and noticed that offlineimap was
complaining about remoteuser and remotehost not being specified.

Since I am using preauth tunnels this shouldn't be necessary and the
version packaged in debian sid (6.3.4) was working fine without it.

I filled in dummy values and offlineimap worked fine since, so I do
consider this a regression.

Cheers,
Justus
