So it looks like I am able to salvage a bit of the old maintenance  
code.  Although it has been drastically rewritten and renamed to a  
more appropriate title: LoginTasks.  Biggest difference - do all  
configuration about intervals and stuff inside of the Task drivers  
rather than relying the main library to read specifically crafted pref  
names.  Also allows us to track last logins by app, rather than horde  
as a whole (useful if a user logs in to one app in a session, i.e.  
imp, but not another, i.e. kronolith).  Finally, the tos agreement  
task best lives in Horde-proper, not just IMP.  Still TODO: need to  
add the logintasks code to all other apps that potentially can do  
authentication (which I think is just gollem) and to horde itself.

Rewrite was necessary for the work I am doing on the multiple accounts  
code in IMP.  The only practical way to login to other accounts is via  
a logintask, and the old code was so crufty it was darn near  
impossible. (storing passwords in prefs is not going to be an option  
and although I will probably eventually allow on-demand signons - i.e.  
if you skip the initial login you can still login per account later -  
but this is a bit cumbersome for more than one account).   This new  
code should allow me to continue work on that topic.
