Filtering capabilities for IMP ...

Hello

A few days ago I post on IMP about filtering capabilities, requesting a 
feature for importing filter files. This feature was dependant on the 
ability for IMP to manage higher filter semantic (in particular the way 
to handle a AND operation between rules).
I made some changes to the way IMP support filtering. The actual support 
I have is close to the mozilla semantic but it could be still enhanced 
(ex.: support a src mailbox to be able to support Outlook filters 
importation).
I post today to let you know about it and to have feedback from you. The 
import/export feature is not yet implemented (only a skeleton exists) 
and before going further I need your opinions about UI and design.
Could a few of you have a look at it ?
For now I can provide you with tarballs of some hacked horde & imp. The 
final post will be a patch against CVS head, but for now, it is a work 
in progress... Some bug perhaps still remains ... needs some cleanup ... 
but the basics should work and should give you an outline of what I propose.

Thanks for your help.

(they were based on a last week cvs head, and I use php 4.2.0 -- 
php4-200112071800 -- as an apache module)
