Actually, I've discovered this isn't necessary. You can use

auth_username_translation = 
AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhIiJjKkLlMmNnOoPpQqRrSsTtUuVvWwXxYyZz

in Dovecot 1.0 stable/tests.

It's no help for stripping domains though, but solves my problem 
authenticating against AD via PAM but using userdb=passwd (AD isn't 
case-senstive).

Best Wishes,
Chris
