dovecot - Mar 2007 - Courier keywords - anyone even tried?

I do realize from the Wiki that the formats are incompatible, and am 
looking at the Courier spec 
(http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/?README.imapkeywords.html) and the 
Dovecot spec (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir) trying to 
see if there's any sane way I could try and write a shellscript.

The pain here is the Courier spec, I think I lost a few brain cells 
trying to understand this convoluted methodology ("When encountering 
".N.file" after another ".N.file" was encountered earlier,
remove the
file with the lesser N, unless the larger of the two Ns is greater than 
or equals to T." e.g.)

Has anyone even started down this path and has some prototype code 
written that they gave up on? Is this just so painful trying to migrate 
that I should just give up?

Any ideas welcome...

I'll probably write in a week or so a full Courier -> Dovecot conversion
script that can be run when the user logs in
(http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting). So you could wait until
then. :)
