in Dovecot 2.0, is it possible to have kind of "cumulative" multiple 
userdb ?

that is, for all users:
- extract some attributes (let's say: uid, gid, home) from a first 
userdb (Passwd for example),
- an extract some other attributes (mail for example, but overwriting 
those from the first userdb in case of redundancy) from a second userdb 
(LDAP for example) ?

This is *different* from the "multiple databases" setup described in 
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases, where it is 
meant as "failover": the second database is looked up only if the user 
isn't found in the first database.
