In case you didn't yet figure this out, there's a small difference..
Dovecot wants SHA1-passwords to be base64-encoded, while the password
above is hex-encoded.

Hmm. I think this could be detected automatically based on just the
length of the string.. Yea, I think I'll change the code to handle both
cases automatically.
