To solve this once and for all (and make packagers' life easier), it'd
be better getting dovecot-sieve build without the --with-dovecot option,
and using the usual --includedir, --libdir and maybe a
--with-dovecot-config one.

That way you can package all the .a (which are already installed to
--prefix) and includes in a -devel package where you can point
dovecot-sieve or any other plugin without playing scripting games while
building packages.
