[Dovecot] master/config rewrite

I've finally got it to work, kind of .. It should allow you to log in, 
but several settings don't work yet and there are probably many bugs. 
Anyway, I thought I'd show this already in case someone is interested 
of looking how it works :)

One thing I'm still wondering a bit is if I should show process names 
as:

32602 pts/19   S      0:00 dovecot/config
32603 pts/19   S      0:00 dovecot/log
32604 ?        Ss     0:00 dovecot
32606 ?        S      0:00 dovecot/imap-login
32607 ?        S      0:00 dovecot/auth -s 3

Or if I should name the binaries all as dovecot-config, dovecot-log, 
etc. One nice thing with the above is that it also shows imap and 
imap-login processes while grepping for dovecot.

You can get the tarball from 
http://dovecot.org/tmp/dovecot-1.0-test67-mrewrite.tar.gz (it has all 
the test73 changes despite the name..)

Example configuration file (with bare minimals) is at 
http://dovecot.org/tmp/dovecot.conf

I think I'll create a separate dovecot-master.conf for those 
service-blocks in the above config file (after I add include-directive 
to config file parser code).

After the code is working better, I'll commit it to CVS and it'll be in 
future -test releases.
