* Minor fixes to the GSSAPI code. Seems to work with stock UW IMAP now!
* Fetchmail running as root now sends misaddressed multidrop mail to
`postmaster', not root. Added `postmaster' option to allow override.
+* DNS names of target servers are now canonicalized only once, at start
+ of run, and then only if they'll actually be needed later for multidrop
+ checking or ftching Kerberos tickets. This eliminates many gethostbyname
