I'm going to be working on this mostly full time till it's done. My boss wants
all this for our company, so excluding an emergency I have the green light to
concentrate on this project. It's still too early to give an estimate on
finishing but unless I run into something show stopping I should have this
done in a few more days.
Hermes and whups aren't ported to H4 yet, so I'm not sure they'll work.
Everything else you mentioned is available. I'm still working on the base
dependencies and hope to have everything (meaning framework & imp) in by the
end of the weekend ${REALJOB} permitting.

I hit a snag with both migration and locale which "pear install" to
${PEARDIR}/data/horde. Hopefully I can just install those files into
www/horde/data and have the correct path without too much hacking.
I would really like to avoid having these ports all spread out on the system.
I plan to keep everyone posted and will put an entry in UPDATING when I get
everything playing nicely. Everything I've committed so far works, but may not
be complete.
