Thanks for providing this! It makes the lives of those of us who aren't 
familiar with ejabberd a bit easier. I've made a setup-kolab component for 
ejabberd, which I'll make available fairly soon, that edits the configuration 
file to enable these settings.

At the moment, I'm trying to get the Converse plugin to work with the 
probably-too-old Roundcube installation I have. If/when the Debian packages 
for 3.2 get prepared, I'll attempt to get them built with pbuilder and to try 
Converse out with Roundcube 1.0.

I've also been making some LDAP setup enhancements - configuring Kolab against 
a remote LDAP server, for example - so that I can run services on separate 
(virtual) hosts. How this fits into distribution packaging and configuration 
is something that probably needs more input from the experts, however.
