Currently there are a few small ones that I know, but nothing fantastic
solve-all yet.  Extending it to put a GUI/wizard is not a small task at any
matter.  The main problem I see is not creating the scripts, but reading in
scripts and population the GUI.

I just received an email from Alexandros Vellis that he has created a small
GUI for sieve support for squirrel mail.  I haven't had a chance to look at
it yet.

Another individual, Scott Russell is creating a horde module.  It has basic
support for vacation scripts, et al.

If you're looking for basic forwarding, vacation, etc then I'd wait to see
what Scott brings us.  I'm currently working on bringing DIGEST-MD5
authentication etc to the library, so I don't have much time to focus on the
GUI side of things.

I'm sure this isn't the answer you wanted, but progress is being made little
by little.

Are you saying my imp-patch is painful? :)
