The documentation is pretty lacking here - clearly it's a common issue
to confuse the two? Perhaps an update to the documentation?

Nope. The only place I can find that file is in the original source
tarball directory:

/usr/src/dovecot-1.2.11/dovecot-config

There is no other version on the system. However running this:
./configure --with-dovecot=/usr/src/dovecot-1.2.11/

Seems to have been successful. Thank you.
