Yea. Although I think this will have to wait for Dovecot v2.0 which  
has my rewritten master/config code. There the master process really  
doesn't know anything about different protocols, they're all  
configured in a config file.

The settings are also distributed in the code where they're used,  
instead of everything being in one place. However currently there  
still exists a generated all-settings.c so that the config file  
parser knows what settings are valid. I haven't really figured out  
yet how this could be made to work with external programs.. I don't  
really like the idea of having a "settings configuration file" :)  
With plugins it could dynamically load them and get the settings  
structures directly, but I'm not sure about binaries. Perhaps each  
binary could have a "--dump-settings" option.

BTW. I'm also planning on adding a new protocol to Dovecot some day  
in an external package: http://icecap.irssi2.org/
