The actual libvmime is converted to a cmake based build, so I'm not sure
about that. But yes, somewhere the configure needs to be created from.
The switch to cmake was done long ago. And I wont spend much energy in
figuring the exact reason out. The usage of a configure.in instead of
*.ac is telling me the system is a little bit of historic. ;)

Mark was telling me that Jan was in contact with the upstream author of
libvmime and is in preparation for using a more recent version of
libvmime in the future. Hopefully there will be a release of libvmime in
the next time. I don't like to use snapshot release. This isn't good
maintainable from a security point of view.
