This is intended, because there are now lots of config files by
default. Or should this be done somehow differently? Anyway the point
is that just doing "./configure" should still access /usr/local/etc/
dovecot/dovecot.conf.

I don't think it's possible to change --help's text. As for other
docs.. I'm not really sure how I should even start describing all the
v2.0 changes and where.. The v2.0's changed configuration is going to
break so many wiki pages..
