Unfortunately not; this functionality was only put into Kolab CVS yesterday, 
but it is the system we will be using in the future. With the current 
releases that are out in the wild you'll need the Conf.php patches.

Well, you could just add a new line to kolab.conf. Basically anything of the 
form " variable_name : variable_value " is read in as a configuration 
variable. You can also add something like this to the Kolab object in LDAP, 
however I'm not sure whether the current schema allows for arbitrary 
key/value pairs.

If it makes sense, we could also add the new option to the kolab.globals file 
in CVS, so that any new releases will always have this variable available.

Yea, I was just questioning the list.
So, anyone know if this will be possible? :-)
