Those configure options are mostly meant to specify locations to some 
root directories in some UNIX filesystem "standard". I don't think it's 
worth the trouble to make it possible to specify every single 
subdirectory that Dovecot uses now, or might use in future, to 
configure.

Your configure script parameters are long enough that you might as well 
build a script that moves the files exactly where you want :)

These are module directories. Use --with-moduledir too.
