done && looks good.

It's a matter of flavor if the processes should be contain the string with "dovecot"
so I skipped the first patch "Do not prepend "dovecot-" to a process name"

now I could set:
- no instance_name
	-> everything as usual

- instance_name = foo
	-> syslog entries start with "foo: ..."
	-> child processes are named "dovecot-foo/..."

- instance_name = dovecot/foo
	-> syslog entries start with "dovecot/foo: ..."
	-> child processes are named "dovecot/foo/..."
  (same if I replace / with - or +)

- instance_name = bar/foo
	-> syslog entries start with "bar/foo: ..."
	-> child prosesses are named "dovecot-bar/foo/..."

I would love to see that feature upstream one day.

Thanks,
Andreas
