* Remove CC=cc from Makefiles under the imap/ directory. Also redefine
ARRC, as these are inherited from values set in the configure script, which in turn can be inherited from environment variables. This implies that to build c-client one needs to specify these variables, and since this is not being built as a stand-alone library anymore, we take these values from the configure script. Submitted by Robert Siebeck.
