Need to back Maildirs to a smb share as a nightly Cron job (NFS is not an option).

Unfortunately, because Dovecot (1.0.beta2) adds a colon `:' to the name of the message file, Samba (actually "mount_smbfs") truncates the file names. As a result, files with truncated duplicate file names are overwritten.

Would prefer a build option or configuration parameter (a hack is O.K. if nothing else is available).

src/lib-storage/maildir/maildir-storage.h

MAILDIR_INFO_SEP MAILDIR_INFO_SEP_S

Changing that breaks maildir standard, so I don't want to make it any easier to change it.
