The utility uses various Postfix library functions, and builds properly
only within the Postfix source distribution, so if not adopted by Wietse,
it would be an unofficial "patch", and I don't think that releasing it
as a patch makes much sense. If the community feels it's useful, perhaps
Wietse will adopt it, otherwise it can quitely disappear...
