Improving mail/imap-uw

I want to build imap-uw and cclient with mbx format being the default
for new mailbox creation. If building by hand, one does the following:
> make {target) CREATEPROTO=mbxproto
I've tried contacting the port maintainer twice about adding this option
to the port, with no response, so I guess I have to hack it myself.
imap-uw uses mbox format by default for compatibility reasons, but mbx
is a much better and faster way to go.
So, I tried adding:
MAKE_ARGS+= CREATEPROTO=mbxproto
to the port's Makefile. That did nothing. The port still compiles with
unixproto as the default.
I don't really understand port Makefiles. Can someone give me a hint as
to how to hack this?
Thanks!
