Yes, it shouldn't be that difficult. I just started the change and ran
into a bit of trouble and then got annoyed and stopped it.

Anyway, lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage.h has MAILDIR_FS_SEP
and _SEP_S. Remove those and add MAILDIR_DEFAULT_FS_SEP '.' which is
used. If getenv("MAILDIR_FS_SEP") returns non-NULL it's used as the
separator. Add char fs_sep to struct maildir_storage, and fix everything
to use it. There are several t_strconcat() calls which use _FS_SEP_S, so
it's easiest to just change them to t_strdup_printf("%s%c%s", ..,
storage->fs_sep) instead. Add the setting to master/master-settings.[ch]
and pass it to imap in mail-process.c. I think that's it.
