According to Joerg:

 * Hmm, this reminds me of another pitfall.  I don't know about Pine/
 * IMAPD, but Elm requires to be linked against -ldescrypt, in order to
 * get its internal message {en,de}cryption correct.
 * 
 * Satoshi, the configure script in our port should be aware of this, and
 * it might warn the user about the disfunctional encryption if there's
 * no such thing like -ldescrypt available.  (I don't know who's the
 * maintainer of the elm port.)

Something like this?

post-configure:
	if ! ldconfig | grep -q descrypt; then
	  echo "Seems like you don't have the DES crypt library (libdescrypt)."
	  echo "The internal message {en,de}cryption may be incorrect."
	fi
