Then the cool feature could be to be able to make the quota plugin call 
an external script/command which could do whatever the admins wish: Send 
an email to a backup account, modify a database, set off an alarm, phone 
the president, slap the user in the face or whatever.

As far as I know that feature could already exist since the idea just 
popped to me and didn't bother checking the documentation yet. So if it 
is so, my bad.
