replying to my own post... ;-)

I am certain that cyrus-imap versions at least since 2.1.10 have had
these perl modules (Cyrus::IMAP::ADMIN and Cyrus::IMAP) as part of the
package.

I am also certain that there are more features available such as:

createonpost:
autosubscribeinboxfolders:
autosubscribesharedfolders:
autocreate_sieve_script: 
autocreate_sieve_compiledscript: 
generate_compiled_sieve_script:
allowallsubscribe:
anysievefolder:

whereas the LDAP Users and Groups config addresses:

autocreatequota:
autocreateinboxfolders:

and not being able to work through the setup, there are entries for:
Email address format
Email domain for mail attribute
Address book base

which I presume refer to entries made into LDAP DSA and can be mostly
accomplished with reasonable insight in the upper section. 

It would seem then, that this portion of the module isn't entirely
functional and as I referred to in previous email, reliant upon a perl
module that has fallen into disuse since cyrus has released the perl
based Administration modules listed above. I have to believe that SuSE,
debian and other distro's that package cyrus-imapd also install these
perl modules.

Given that I know about two things about perl... 1) that you need a ';'
at the end of each line and 2) that what is likely to be perl code is
something that I can stare at for 10 minutes without getting the
slightest hint of what it is doing is a deterrent for me to start
hacking away at the perl code in the module that handles the cyrus
management.
