You can look at the clients I've built in my dev cell home directory
(/afs/dev/user/zacheiss/moira/clients/, currently built for Suns);
clients built from the current moiradev repository will also have the
new functionality.
The support was one of the last things Dan did before he left; I've
tested it and verified it works, but haven't dug into the details of the
implementation a lot. There weren't any changes to the db schema,
though; I'd surmise that it's implemented similarly to SMTP poboxes,
with the difference that if you're type SPLIT, both your POP/IMAP box
and the string pointed to by box_id in the users table are output into
your aliases file entry.

Ok. The best way to do that involves putting out new clients, a new
moirad, and a new reg_svr. The reg_svr and client changes should be
done (I haven't submitted the reg_svr change, but it's a single line).
I'll start working on fixing moirad.
