[Dovecot] Need fast Maildir to mdbox conversion

	I looked around the 'Net to see if there might be a custom program for
offline Maildir to mdbox conversion. So far I haven't turned up
anything. The problem for us is that the dsync program simply takes a
lot of time to convert mailboxes. I wonder if time could be saved with a
program that is optimized to convert mailboxes without the fancy locking
that dsync needs to do. Does have (or seen) a tool that could do this?
	We're hoping that converting away from Maildir will help us speed up
the backup processes by reducing the number of files to process.
