Local mods I have in abundance--mostly having to do with branding
(virtual domains, don't you know).  I _have_ been looking at
coalescing all this stuff into one file, then patching the other items
to check customized variables.  Would this be of use to you?  If so,
I'll be happy to join the CVS group.  Be forewarned, however: I have
a tendency to comment the kapok out of my code (fully 50% of my source
is comments).  The reason?  Six months from now I won't remember what
I did or why I did it.  That, and others can maintain my code.  I'm
lazy and proud of it!

I fail to see why that's anything even resembling a bad thing. :) I'd certainly 
be interested in seeing the mods, and if they fit with where we're going, you'd 
be welcome to maintain them in CVS. I'd recommend joining dev@lists.horde.org 
and posting there for further discussion...
