Thank you, that's great!  The only thing I'm missing is the addition to
the example.conf I made.  (I have to admit it was only a stub, though)

I agree.  Unfortunately I had no time to factor out the more tricky
parts.  (There is still a bunch of features we have to implement till
November...)

Apropos implementing features: 

I had a look at the deliver code to figure out how to get userdb data
From the auth server (I need this in shared-storage.c to implement %%h).

There are more than 250LOC in deliver/auth-client.c and I wonder if
there is already a higher level api for auth clients?  I would have
expected something like this in lib-auth, but the stuff in there seems
not to be what I'm looking for.  Any hints?

cheers
