[Dovecot] 1.1 beta 11 - no quota warnings - when using %

I have done some more testing. It appears that %'s don't work for me when it 
comes to quota_warnings. I have tried using the default (kB), 'b', bytes= 
and a few more over time. However it was the % that has caused me problems.

I tried this on both installations I have (on Centos 4):
1.0.8 + quote-rewrite (patch adapted according to Juan's advice)
1.1 compiled --with-deliver --with-mysql
Neither worked with %.

Thankfully though I was able to return the quota_warning from the sql! So, 
'storage=165 /usr/local/bin/quota-warning 180' as quota_warning worked. 
Therefore I do not actually need %'s, because I also bring back the 
quota_rule too. It just means I have to manually work out the % when I set 
the quota and warning sizes in the table.

Juan - I wonder if you also find this?
