If it means we can remove most of the relay-after-pop/imap code I'm all
for it! I won't spend a lot of time on it myself, but I'll certainly
take patches.

I don't agree about this. We already have the ability. Before I'd be
willing to remove it we need to provide a replacement for those who
can't give it up. Once we provide the replacement it becomes part of
vpopmail even if it isn't in the core.
I think the initial implementation should handle the same files the same
way they are done now. As you replace existing code with script calls,
replicate the code within the script.
