While diagnosing a problem I was having with IMAP and SSL (which I ended up fixing by simply upgrading from 0.99.9.1 to 0.99.10, and possibly affected by upgrading openssl libs from 0.9.7a to 0.9.7.b), I attempted to try the CVS version of Dovecot.
When using the CVS version, apparently I have to first generate 'configure' using autogen.sh (?). This was the result of that, on FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE (2003-08-06):
# ./autogen.sh automake: configure.in: installing

As far as I know these are harmless.
And then...

You might want to duplicate most of the configure arguments from the port.
I also attempted to use 0.99.11-test4 from http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/test/, but this failed to build:

Timo fixed this in CVS :-)
Stop in /usr/local/src/dovecot/dovecot-0.99.11-test4/src/lib-storage/index.
Just thought you'd like to know :)
