[Bug 597818] [NEW] Include files parsed in reverse order

[Jim Ursetto]

Public bug reported:

dovecot-postfix installs a configuration file in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/01
-dovecot-postfix.conf.

Users should expect that creating another file in this directory whose
filename is lexicographically greater -- for example, 99-myconf.conf --
will override this file.

However, due to a bug in dovecot 1.2.9, the include files are parsed in
reverse order.

Evidently this bug was fixed in dovecot 2.0 in
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/e25b0ecfc758.  However it was
apparently not backported to dovecot 1.2 (see
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/file/659f72bf92ae/src/lib-
settings/settings.c).

So, a backport of this bugfix might be in order.
