Don't know about this really.. But once Dovecot-LDA gets packaged into
tarball this problem doesn't happen since it doesn't need bison at all.

Changed.

Fixed.

The deliver doesn't get built nowadays anymore at all. And the warning
comes before you even run configure.

Hmh. This file seems to be created by gettextize, but it adds also all
sorts of other crap around which Dovecot doesn't need. Seems to be
working fine without it too..

I think this was because autoheader was run too late. I've changed
autogen.sh now to run it earlier.
