It looks like it does support an Include extension :

Found on http://www.cyrusoft.com/sieve/

But then it's still not trivial to create a Sieve-parser to parse the
scripts Into a GUI like the Filter-editor. I guess/fear that meta-data
per rule will be necessary per rule.

So in case I installed evolution in /opt/evo/ then I have to edit
/opt/evo/etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation config.xml, right?

I want to keep the Evolution which I have installed with Ximian Desktop
2.0
