Seems chances are rather low for that to happen. This must have
been a problem at least since Mac OS 10.7 (switch to clang).

I've looked a bit what packagers do regarding patching:
- fink does not offer maildrop anymore
- macports offers maildrop, but without any significant patching
  afaics; looks like no-one actually uses maildrop, or only
  simple configs without xfilter

Duh. What a pity.
