[Dovecot] Configuration file changes

[Farkas Levente]

I like the idea, but I don't realy under stand the example.
what I'd like to see a default session in the config file and  server 
specific part(s) in the config file. eg a different base dir for each 
server. or different userdb and passwd db for each server. since I can 
run different sub-server for each domain with different ldap search base 
and base_dir. it'd be very useful for me!:-)))
