Yes - they changed.  LoVerso optimized the lookup code, and by nuking
support for the dot-separated names he halved the number of filenames
checked.  I'm afraid I don't have anything laying about that will
convert your file tree for you.  It shouldn't be hard to do.

I'll cc exmh-users in case there are others that got caught by this, too.
