This is sane. Simple is good.

I've added (or will add, when I get off this airplane) the Perl daemon and
the notify script to the contrib directory, and the notifY_unix.c file to
the imap directory.
I'd appreciate some documentation to include with this (probably around
where it talks about zephyr in the current installation documentation).
I'd also love to see one or two sample implementations in the "TODO"
section of notify_unix.pl; what are you using?
