_The_ major webmail clients (Horde-IMP and SquirrelMail come to mind as the
most used ones immediately) are written in PHP and require the IMAP extension
for PHP (to do IMAP), which in turn depends on cclient, so basically the
major webmail clients do depend on cclient (even though indirectly).
Why the cclient dependency (for the IMAP extension of PHP) doesn't show up in
your grepping of ports I don't know, but it's an easy check for you to test
that the IMAP extension for PHP either comes with cclient bundled, or with a
dependency on it that's slightly hidden in the Makefile.
