http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/4497c58eaca8 adds some other
missing changes too. I also decided to change AUTHORIZED=YES to
AUTHORIZED=1 initially. I did also think about yes -> done or yes ->
userdb or something similar, but 1 -> 2 seemed the best.

plugins/expire-tool/auth-client.c has copy&pasted that code also.. So it
would be nice if it was put to lib-auth :)
