It compiles out of the box for me.  And has been running beautifully since. 
Which version of Dovecot are you trying to use?  0.99, 1.0-stable, or 1.0-test?

I am not using SSL (since it's internal only) and so had to set 
"disable_plaintext_auth = no"

I have "auth_userdb = passwd" and "auth_passdb = shadow" so my users are authed 
as usual.  And since it's using shadow, you must set "auth_user = root", unless 
you want to start messing about with RBAC.
