so I can get some mail folder hierarchy and '.'s in folder names - this all worked perfectly.

Under 1.1.4 the MAILDIR_FS_SEP lines are no longer present.

What is the current practice for doing what I was doing before ?

src/lib-storage/list/mailbox-list-maildir.c

struct mailbox_list maildir_mailbox_list = { MEMBER(name) MAILBOX_LIST_NAME_MAILDIRPLUSPLUS, MEMBER(hierarchy_sep) '.',

Change hierarchy_sep to ';'.

A better long-term plan would be to use listescape plugin: http://dovecot.org/patches/1.1/listescape-plugin.c

That of course requires that you rename all the existing maildirs.
