I was approached about it once, but nothing really happened, plus I dont
believe the patch is as good as it needs to be to be fully integrated
into CVS.

This patch is written for 0.5.4, the CVS version has not been tested
with this patch, also extensive testing is required to ensure that
changes from this patch do not affect normal operation so those who do
not want to use FQUN will not be affected.

This one line change allows you to use FQUN, however it would break
non-FQUN setups and it also breaks certain functions of web-cyradm.

Feel free to do it, I plan on eventually upgrading to CVS version and
patching it for FQUN but I'm not sure when.
