kolab 2.3.4 postfix build failure on FreeBSD 9

[Scott Lambert]

The version of postfix in the most recent stable release of postfix
does not yet have knowlege of FreeBSD 9.x.

I believe this simple workaround of patching postfix's makedefs
file should work:

--- makedefs.orig       2012-01-09 05:28:32.777349401 +0000
+++ makedefs    2012-01-09 05:29:14.980317177 +0000

Postfix builds with that change.  I am new to OpenPKG and Kolab.
I have not yet figured out how to build and install the package via
the openpkg framework with that modification.  I'm trying to read
"openpkg man build"  but the non functional ESC[##m sequences wrapped
around the options is making reading more difficult than it should
be.

I guess I will try the development-2.3/current version to see if
it already has postfix patched for the newer FreeBSD.  I'm building
on a dual core atom 1.8GHz box which takes a *long* time to bootstrap
openpkg and move on to building postfix.

This is just an experiment for my personal mail server.  I don't
have a lot of time to play.  If anyone has any hints, I would
appreciate the help.

Thanks,
