You can look in create_virtmail.sh for examples of how to set it up for
virtual domains etc...

I find cyrus to be far superior than all of the other imap servers - sieve
filtering, shared folders, acls, handles nntp, black boxed user accounts,
load balancing, etc....

What it does lack, as you might have discovered, is clear documentation ;)

I would also suggest searching for the autocreate, autosievefolder, and
rmquota+deletemailbox patches.  They allow, for example, for automatic
creation of the mailbox and folders when an email comes in to a valid
account.
