I currently use a configuration like this:

map {
  table = dict
  pattern = shared/$key
  value_field = value
  username_field = username
  fields {
    key = $key
  }
}

There's a similar entry for a priv/$key pattern.  This was the most obvious 
way of getting the metadata plugin to work with dovecot 1.2.

key contains the mailbox name followed by the annotation name.  When doing a 
recursive iteration, the key only contains the mailbox name and thus the 
iteration returns all the annotations for a given mailbox.  That's how it 
worked with dovecot 1.1 anyway.

The way the mailbox and annotation name are translated into a dict key is not 
ideal, but I'd prefer to get the annotations working with 1.2 before trying 
to improve this (e.g. so that the pattern could become somethng like 
shared/$mailbox/$key).
