Note that there's one big change here: DH parameters are now set for SSL
to get forward secrecy, and Dovecot doesn't really start until it sees
them for the first time. The first generation may take minutes, or even
longer if you have an old computer.

After the first time, by default they're regenerated once a week, but in
background where it shouldn't affect running.

If this becomes a real problem, I suppose I could include pregenerated
DH parameters that are used until the generation completes for the first
time..
