At CMU, we are using a slightly modiffied version of SquirrelMail
which uses pubcookie with kerberos ticket passing for authentication.
On the webmail server, instead of letting PHP make the connection to
Cyrus, we instead fork a copy of imtest (which authenticates using the
passed tickets).  Then SquirrelMail sends its IMAP commands over
the connection opened by imtest.

I can publish the patches we made to the Cyrus wiki shortly.
