I just received the following from Tom Blinn at DEC that essentially refutes
what everyone else told me. Both solutions compile imapd (but it still doesn't
work, *sigh*). Haven't tried samba yet...

Don,
It's a known bug in V4.0, V4.0A, B, and C that the /usr/include/prot.h has an
incorrect unconditional include of #include <acl.h>.
Create an EMPTY file /usr/include/acl.h and things should work. Do *not* go
get the copy of acl.h that's elsewhere in the /usr/include hierarchy and
copy it into /usr/include -- it's the wrong file.
/usr/include/prot.h should be fixed in V4.0D.
