There seems to be no provision in pkgsrc for the build of a package needing the work directory of the build of another package.

I think the proper solution for this would be for Dovecot to install and
use libdovecot.so and libdovecot-storage.so instead of all these
small .a libraries that are only useful for people who happen to build
external Dovecot binaries themselves. But as to when those .so files
would be available .. dunno, I could still get them to v1.2 if someone
sends me a patch. :)
