Proposed Option #1: Rename libc-client to imap-libs
Any reason not to call it uwimap-libs? Why should it get premier naming as implementor of IMAP? (I realize it's a reference implementation of the protocol by the protocol's author, but we don't call BIND "dns".)
Possibly some legacy apps expect it to be named imap (which is what it has historically been named). Besides, IMO, packages should be called by their upstream name/tarball whenever possible, unless there is good reason to do otherwise. Recent examples raised (including yours) validates this:
apache: As of 2.0, it's tarball is httpd (and for licensing reasons too ,I believe, Fedora Core can't use the name "apache").
bind: bind is and always has been called "bind".
If there is confusion over the name, then I'd be inclined to name it uw-imap possibly.
