I was sort of waiting for that question to turn up at some point.. :)

There are several ways to do this, but the easiest that I can think of is
to insert a script in the pipeline that checks wether IMAPdir/INBOX exists
already, and if it doesn't then a symlink is created. This script can be
inserted right before bincimapd is invoked, as the home directory will be
the cwd for the script.

A script like this could certainly be bundled as a standard part of the
package, for those who use the symlink approach. I'm thinking something 
like this:

#!/bin/bash
if [ ! -e IMAPdir/INBOX ]; then ln -s ../Maildir IMAPdir/INBOX; fi
exec $1

The symlink path would need to be customized though.
