Hello,

In case somebody is interested, these are the Alpine packages required if anybody wants to install the latest imapsync release on their light-weight system:
```
echo "**** Install IMAPSYNC required packages ****"
apk --no-cache --no-progress add \
    make                         \
    gcc                          \
    git                          \
    db-dev                       \
    openssl-dev                  \
    perl-app-cpanminus           \
    lsb-release-minimal          \
    procps

apk --no-cache --no-progress add \
    perl-ntlm                    \
    perl-class-load              \
    perl-crypt-ssleay            \
    perl-data-uniqid             \
    perl-digest-hmac             \
    perl-dist-checkconflicts     \
    perl-encode-imaputf7         \
    perl-file-copy-recursive     \
    perl-file-tail               \
    perl-io-socket-inet6         \
    perl-io-socket-ssl           \
    perl-io-tee                  \
    perl-mail-imapclient         \
    perl-module-scandeps         \
    perl-net-ssleay              \
    perl-par-packer              \
    perl-regexp-common           \
    perl-sys-meminfo             \
    perl-term-readkey            \
    perl-test-fatal              \
    perl-test-mock-guard         \
    perl-test-mockobject         \
    perl-test-pod                \
    perl-test-requires           \
    perl-test-simple             \
    perl-unicode-string          \
    perl-test-nowarnings         \
    perl-test-deep               \
    perl-test-warn               \
    perl-readonly                \
    perl-crypt-openssl-rsa       \
    perl-package-stash-xs        \
    perl-proc-processtable       \
    perl-cgi                     \
    perl-json                    \
    perl-json-webtoken           \
    perl-net-server
```

These are packages to be able to use OAUTH2 in case you need it:
```
echo "**** Install IMAPSYNC OAUTH2 required packages ****"
apk --no-cache --no-progress add \
    unzip                        \
    perl-net-dns                 \
    perl-email-address           \
    perl-http-daemon
```


It would have certainly been possible to use the older existing Alpine package for Imapsync + replace the actual script by the latest one but I wanted to keep it fully manual since package was outdated anyway... maybe not the ideal way but working fine here and avoid having to compile any perl module.

There are possibly a few packages for my personal installation needs in the lists but nothing really bothersome.

Thought it may still help somebody...
