pigeonhole sieve "standalone"

hi. i've been thinking (but, for years now!) of a replacement for procmail, and pigeonhold sieve seems like a good candidate. but, i run nmh, not dovecot. as i started install it (on arch linux), i started to worry that it may be foolish of me to try to run it outside of a dovecot system.

any wisdom about that would be gratefully received.

thanks in advance, and thanks for the software.
