Doesn't it have -lmysqlclient at all? Should I just add another
-lmysqlclient_r check and use it if -lmysqlclient isn't found?

The -L parameters are good enough in there, but isn't -lsqlite3 added
automatically? If not, put it to SQL_LIBS instead if LDFLAGS.

I just wrote about this privately to another guy, here's some
copy&pasting:

Also I think those --with-package=/path parameters' functionality could
be misundertood easily. They don't really specify that the given package
is used from /path. They just modify the generic CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS
environment and let the compiler/linker find the packages wherever they
happen to be first in the path.

Also I could never figure out when compiling other systems what I should
use as the package path. Does the configure script use the given path as
base path for <path>/include and <path>/lib, or does it assume that both
the include and lib files are there or something else? What if I have
the include and lib files in completely different locations?

I've never liked those parameters either as a user or as a developer, so
I doubt I'll ever add them to Dovecot.
