This is now done.  It creates a listening port for each account [I don't
like the popular idea of munging the POP3 username to include the hostname,
because it complicates the proxy - simple is good].  See Options.py for the
new ini-file settings - you give it a list of POP3 servers and a
corresponding list of local ports to listen on.  The old settings still
work but are deprecated and give a warning.  It passes this test:

[pop3proxy]
# Evil self-proxying test.
pop3proxy_servers: localhost:8110, localhost:111
pop3proxy_ports: 111, 110

where localhost:8110 is a local test POP3 server a la "pop3proxy.py -t".
This makes it run two proxies, one pointing at the other.  The messages
come back classified twice (because it doesn't yet strip existing
X-Hammie-Disposition headers - must fix that 8-)

And this from a single-threaded program.  Sometimes asyncore winds me up,
but sometimes I really have to take my hat off to it.
