Converting mailboxes from one Maildir format to another

[Patrick C]

I am currently running dovecot 2.0.9 on a CentOS 6 server with the
following layout for mailboxes:

mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

I would like to change the layout to this format to match the output
of other software packages such as offlineimap, mbsync, etc:

mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=~/Maildir/INBOX

Is there a way to convert the mailbox layout for all mail accounts
currently on the server? I was looking at dsync, but there aren't any
Maildir <--> Maildir examples.

I was also looking at potentially writing a script to manually rename
directories/move files around to match the new format, but wasn't sure
whether that would mess with UIDs or other dovecot internals.
