dovecot - Feb 2008 - Optional Sieve includes

I (think that I) want a global Sieve setup like this:

  require ["include"];
  include :global "spam.sieve";
  include :personal "folders.sieve";
  include :personal "vacation.sieve";

... that does not fail if a user has not created the personal filters. 
Any ideas how to do something like that?

I read the source, but it seems that a failed include will exit the
Sieve, so the above will not work.

Incidentally, I think I found a typo, so a patch is below.

Okay, no help for having an optional include. My fallback solution is to 
create the personal sieves as empty files, but how would I best do that? 
These are virtual users, so there is no /etc/skel to copy.

I was thinking about a post-login script, but sieves can run before 
anybody logs in. Is there a way to wrap the deliver LDA, to have it 
create these files just as the first mail arrives?
