i found a neat trick to do it with the C pre-processor after all.
this makes the enum definitions themselves arguably somewhat less
legible, but on the upside the build system becomes simpler, and IDEs
can build/update their code models without having to (re-)build the
project first.
somewhat as a side effect, this gives bit enums proper names, so we
don't need to refer to them by cryptic prefixes anymore.
amends 6a78e2c5f.
this finally makes us compliant with IMAP4rev1. how fitting that the
meanwhile released IMAP4rev2 demoted UTF-7 to legacy status ...
based on a patch by Georgy Kibardin <georgy@kibardin.name>.
this is a lot more legible, and makes it possible to insert values in
the middle without churn.
i didn't find a way to do this with the pre-processor, so we now have
another code generator.
we now use the $< make variable, which requires gmake on netbsd < 9.0,
and possibly other systems with an ancient make.
do that by wrapping the actual stores into proxies.
the proxy driver's code is auto-generated from function templates, some
parameters, and the declarations of the driver functions themselves.
attempts to do it with CPP macros turned out to be a nightmare.
as opposed to earlier threats, BerkDB was not entirely dropped; i
suppose the isync 0.7 -> 0.8 change had a reason, so i added an
alternative UID storage scheme.
note that BDB 4.0 is not sufficient, as the db->open function changed in
an incompatible way ...
i updated the debian packaging except for a changelog entry.
note that i removed the upgrade blurb, as upstream now has a smooth
upgrade path down to at least isync 0.4.
