I hadn't thought about upgrading for a while now since I had hoped most
people already had upgraded from 0.99.x. But I guess there are lots of
people using it from some distributions..

It would be easy to change the code to fallback to .subscriptions file
if subscriptions isn't found, and the same for .customflags ->
dovecot-keywords. Although for non-upgrade cases it can cause extra
stat() calls which are a bit annoying.
