Setting TCP keepalive for Cyrus daemons

Isn't it the case that if you have the imap.conf additions parsed after
this:

>>> I considered that - but I wanted it to be after:
>>>
>>> cyrus_init(alt_config, service, 0);
>>>
>>> So that you could control options per service.

...then you can affect each service by prefixing the option with its
name as specified in cyrus.conf? In your case the service name would be
"imap" but you can change this to anything and run several imapds with
different service names.
