[Dovecot] Cygwin and dovecot-auth problems

[TBlack]

Hi all.
I'm trying to install Dovecot 1.1.rc13 on Cygwin.
I've read the related posts, and I realize that maybe there's no solution at present; since I'm having a different error, though, I'm posting it here.

Compilation succeeds. Starting dovecot from command line results in:

Warning: fd limit 256 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 640). Either grow the limit or change login_max_processes_count and max_mail_processes settings
Warning: Last died with error (see error log for more information): Auth process died too early - shutting down


Trying to run just dovecot-auth outputs:

dovecot-auth: Fatal: MECHANISMS environment is unset


Now, if I try to set an environment variable called MECHANISMS (say, export MECHANISMS=plain) I get a different error:

dovecot-auth: Fatal: No passdbs specified in configuration file. PLAIN mechanism needs one


This is the output of dovecot -n:

# 1.1.rc13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf

Any clues or suggestions, anything I could try...? ^__^

Thanks,

Angelo
