Adding a new option is easy. Done in 30 minutes. I can do it if a official dev
says it makes sense and will be added... but I don't get any answers from Bron

bugzilla waiting for a response.

TLS tutorials for cyrus-imapd including tls_ca_path/file by default? Most
likely to get rid of the debug warnings.
