Well, I was a bit uncertain about the name. People who don't know what a 
pigeonhole is or what the verb means (especially the Dutch), sometimes 
have `interesting' associations with that name. I am quite confident 
though that this name is the definitive one. I'll adjust the website 
accordingly.

The Pigeonhole project is not released for v2.0 yet, so there is no 
version for v2.0. Current plans are to call name the packages 
dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole-0.2.0. However, this versioning scheme is not 
ideal, so ideas are welcome.
