Note how this is basically exactly the same as what I posted, except 
that it uses the Dovecot 2 configuration file format ('type = public') 
and that it calls the prefix/location "public" instead of "lists".

I don't think this is applicable to my case, and a check of the source 
code seems to confirm that: I'm not trying to change the set of flags 
stored for a given mail but rather the index file of the Squat plugin.
