See also bug #431931 which requests this be added to cyrus-imapd-2.3 -
something much more likely to happen as UoA for 2.3.x is maintained in
dpatch format, by me, for the Sirius builds.

Ought to be a standard feature.  There has been some discussion about
putting this patch in upstream:

http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/2009-June/thread.html

But CMU are apparently working on a different approach.  There are some
issues with UoA auto-* in Murder environments.  IMHO, this is not a
reason to exclude a very useful patch, which does nothing without extra
config options enabled, from the Debian builds.

Cheers
