I think as a user it's a lot easier to use and understand if you're just instructed to say:
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-I/usr/local/lib ./configure
instead of:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local --with-sqlite=/usr/local --with-pgsql=/usr/local --with-ten-other-packages=/usr/local
again, i don't agree. LDFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, etc are _global_ var instances ... used by autofoo across the entier install. often end up with stuff linked-in where you don't necessarily need/want it.
That's why libraries shouldn't be added to them, only linker flags.
-I and -L don't really matter if they're in global CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS.
hm? items def'd in LDFLAGS don't matter? then why your question about why -lsqlite is linked in? it's _only_ coming from LDFLAGS ... apparently not as you expected, no?
You showed that you added it to LDFLAGS yourself. Dovecot should be adding it automatically where needed.
