Great, though a diff would be perferable - in case one has other changes 
in the xdb_file.c!

Here's a little one-liner shell script you can use to re-arrange all the 
data files in your spool directory.  It should be run from the spool 
directory (ie. "cd /var/spool/jabber" or wherever).

ls *.xml | perl -n -e 'chomp; /^(.)(.)/; mkdir $1 unless -d $1;
mkdir "$1/$1$2\n" unless -d "$1/$1$2"; rename $_, "$1/$1$2/$_";'

To "undo" you can simply swap the order of the arguments to rename.
