[dev] Potential packaging of IMP

[Chuck Hagenbuch]

As Jan has mentioned, some of us are working on some pretty big changes 
to Horde/IMP right now. As part of this, I'd like to propose 
abstracting away a large part of what is currently IMP, to make it 
easier to maintain the current working UI for folks using HEAD, while 
also making MIMP development easier.

Basically, I'd like to move as much of IMP's code as possible into a 
Horde_App_Mail package. IMP would become the UI on top of that code; 
MIMP would simply be an alternate UI (avoiding a ton of duplicate code 
we have right now), and the new work that Jan and myself and others are 
working on would be a third.

It's a decent amount of work, but I think there are large benefits to 
it development-wise and for people doing custom UIs. Thoughts? 
Objections?
