dovecot - Mar 2012 - POP3C storage backend

I see a new "POP3C" lib-storage client backend in dovecot 2.1, but I
don't see anything in the 2.1 doc directory or in the wiki. Can this
be used to synchronize dovecot with external pop servers? Doing away
with my current fetchmail and lmtp solution for this would be quite
interesting.

Thanks for any pointers to configuring and using this, if so...

It could possibly be used to do that with http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Snarf

Although that would probably connect to POP3 server quite often. And when
IDLEing it wouldn't see new POP3 mails (that would need a small change to
snarf plugin).
