Change MAILDIR_FS_SEP and MAILDIR_FS_SEP_S in
src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage.h to something else than
"." (eg. "^" might be rarely enough used).

After that it's no longer a "standard" Maildir++ though and you'll have
to keep patching Dovecot for each new version. I may make this
configurable from config file some day though.
