[Dovecot] Password scheme module thoughts?

[Ian R. Justman]

Hi, all.

I have successfully deployed the code I wrote to handle Post.Office 
password hashes.  However, I had to implement it as a hack to 
password-scheme.c.  I'd like to implement it as a module so I don't have 
to hack Dovecot whenever a new release comes out.  However, I had a few 
thoughts:

1.  I used Dovecot's own MD5 routines in my implementation because I 
know how they behave.  However, would it make sense to distribute the C 
sources for the MD5 routines, or would it make far more sense to have a 
Dovecot build tree already (so I can use Dovecot's function library)?

2.  Is there good documentation for Dovecot's plugin API?  I need it so 
I can figure out how to write the parts which the main program call so 
then the code can be used as a plugin.

Thanks!

--Ian.
