Dovecot does not link against the Cyrus distribution of sieve, but rather the
standalone libsieve that has been extracted and made linkable to other
applications.  The current release of libsieve:

	http://libsieve.sourceforge.net/

is 2.1.13, dated July 30, 2006 (i.e. today).  The odds are very good that
dovecot will not be able to use the Cyrus-distributed sieve library until the
standalone project is upgraded to the latest release.  You should contact the
libsieve maintainers at the above link to see about plans to bring the latest
Cyrus code into the standalone libsieve distro.
