What about something like this:

    #!/bin/sh
    [ ! -d IMAPdir ] && mkdir IMAPdir
    [ ! -L IMAPdir/INBOX ] && ln -s `pwd`/Maildir IMAPdir/INBOX
    exec $@

That way programs that deliver to the Maildir can continue unchanged, 
and Binc can just use the IMAPdir next to the Maildir.

'course, I use this script:

    #!/bin/sh
    [ ! -d $HOME/IMAPdir ] && maildir2imapdir.pl "$HOME/Maildir" \
    "$HOME/IMAPdir" && rm -rf $HOME/Maildir.bak
    exec $@

Where the maildir2imapdir.pl script is the one that was posted to this 
list a while back
