Version 1.3checkvpw set a nice bunch of vars which i can use in the wrapper. i would love to tweak bincimap using env-vars too but those $hex varnames (and values) are not very intuitive.
loading .bincimap from $HOME instead of $PWD is a kind of mandatory for using it on vmailmgr, but who cares ;-) i'll use IMAPdir,path="" on bincimap.conf and the wrapper will do the rest.
Which wrapper are you using and have you read Section 6 of http://lifewithbincimap.org/index.php/Main/LifeWithCheckpasswordAndFriends?
perl is too much :-) time perl --version vs. time sh --version
time perl vs. time bincimapd :-) Seriously.
On the other hand, you have optimized for a configuration over which you have control: I agree with this. I believe that my solution is the shortest and easiest to understand solution that is correct for the general case: I did not want to document what to do if you decide to add options to bincimapd.
