imaplib: support for more cyrus extension : expire

[aspineux]

setacl and getacl look to be already "Cyrus" specific (according the
doc),
why not to extend imaplib a little bit more ?

Here are some code I wrote and tested to support cyrus "expire" that
manage how long a message
can stay into a mailbox.
This is usefull for NEWS server !

The code is preceded by lot of sample.
I wrote the 2 generic functions getannotation and setannotation that
coul be used with any IMAP server.
And use them to access the Cyrus extensions !
I tried to use http://www.potaroo.net/ietf/all-ids/draft-daboo-imap-
annotatemore-00.txt
but used a lot TCPDUMP to compare with cyradm

Any chances to see this small part of me into the official python
release ?

"""IMAP4 Client

Extend default python imaplib to include ANNOTATION as described in

removale of expired mail based on '/vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expir'
