how to config dovecot from source with lmtp

[Dave Myers]

Thanks for the quick reply,

Finaly I retried with
./configure --with-lmtp=yes

and suddenly I have lmtp in the /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/ directory.

I have built from source, I did apt-get purge dovecot (or whatever it 
is) before this, just to be sure I then removed any other dovecot 
directories that I found.

And then of course there is a distinct lack of an init.d script for lmtp 
? I'm not sure where I need to set the details for the location of the 
lmtp file.
I guess I should be setting it in the
service lmtp{....}
section.
alternatively what should the contents of the lmtp init.d script be?
