Hi,

It may be useful for testing purpose to know if a generated password hash correspond to a given clear password. This can be useful to check if a hash generated by another program can be verified by Dovecot without any errors.

This patch adds the ability the verify a password hash using doveadm pw via the -V option.

Committed, with a few changes: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/fffa4d53e901

• while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "lp:r:s:u:V::")) != -1) {

"::" isn't standard, so I added a separate -t parameter to give the hash.
