I've been working on implementing the imap4flags sieve extension.  The
notable changes over the imapflags extension are support of the :flags
parameter on the 'keep' and 'fileinto' actions, and the 'hasflag' test. 
I believe the code to be about 95% complete.  Remaining is support of
the :count parameter to the 'hasflag' test.

I also added support for :copy to the 'keep' action, but just yesterday
realized that the spec doesn't call for a :copy parameter to the keep
action.  I'll amend my patch series to remove this support unless
someone else finds it useful.

I started originally based my work on the 2.4.17 release since that was
the latest stable release.  I have since rebased my work onto master.

I would very much appreciate any testing of the code and welcome any
feedback.


The first patch in the series has nothing to do with sieve.  It allows
the latest CUnit (2.1-3) to run properly.  I couldn't figure out how to
make the change so that it conditionally compiles using autoconf. 
Perhaps someone here could help me with that?


Here is my work-in-progress code:

P.S., Re-sending because I originally sent it from the wrong e-mail
address and the list bounced it.
