No, this is wrong. Dovecot uses the Cyrus version just so that it'd be
somewhat simple to upgrade it when Cyrus people upgrade theirs. I don't
think libsieve people even really intend to update their version to have
more features.

I think the easiest way to upgrade it is to get Cyrus 2.2's libsieve (I
think I got it from there), make a diff against Dovecot, then try to
apply the patch against Cyrus 2.3.
