Ok, I used auth-master.* -- the new code is in changeset f5ce17153a3d in
my kolab-branch at
http://hg.intevation.org/kolab/dovecot-1.2_kolab-branch/ and I made
deliver use it in 94b00e377a25.

I had no time for thorough testing, but in my test-setup it seems to
work like before, so at least I didn't break it completely...  ;-)

Now I have to go back and finally implement the %%h feature for shared
name spaces. 

cheers
