I thought that part of the issue was that Cyrusoft had made the CMU IMSP
code into a stand alone library, and then not released that library to the
public.  I know that you can download the IMSP enabled version of PHP from
Cyrusoft as part of the Silkymail distribution, but that's not really an
acceptable solution.  I think it would probably be more worthwhile to take
the CMU code and independently library-ize it.

It looks like it was originally intended to be an addition to UW's
c-client, and realistically, the Cyrusoft libimsp is really just a pared
down c-client distro told to call itself libimsp instead of c-client.

I'm pretty sure that Chuck wrote the IMSP php extension.  Do we just need
a publically available IMSP library to link against?
