cyrus imap quota

[Nic Bernstein]

The text file format is a little tricky, as there is trailing whitespace 
which must be preserved.

The quota command is fast, so it is trivial to make a script to modify 
the quotas on the fly.  I have a perl script which sucks quota 
information of of an LDAP directory and uses Cyrus::IMAP::Admin to 
update the files.  It is fast enough to run every five minutes without 
any trouble.

I've attached my scripts if you want to take a look.

Cheers,
      -nic
