Current dovecot-lda can use dovecot.conf nowadays, and requires a
"protocol lda" section in dovecot.conf. That however gives config
parsing error with anything but latest Dovecot CVS.. You could of course
make dovecot-lda use a separate config file.

Not really. I'd rather see some other Sieve implementation used by
Dovecot-LDA, but there just doesn't seem to be any easy way to use
others than the Cyrus Sieve. I'll at some point merge the two different
LDAs and make some kind of easy way to plug in Sieve code, but the Sieve
code will still stay as separate package..
