Recent versions of UW IMAPD are PAM-enabled (on OSs that speak PAM),
and there is, I believe a PAM module for PostgreSQL authentication.
The 1.5.X cyrus IMAPD has patches to allow authentication against
PostgreSQL. 1.6.X went to using SASL, which means the patches against
1.5.X are no longer relevant, but I believe the SASL library is
PAM-enabled, so it can also use the PAM/PostgreSQL module.
