The autogen.sh script is never included in the tarball distribution. It
is used to initialize your source tree if you've retrieved the sources
through mercurial. As stated in the INSTALL file, when you've downloaded
a tarball, you only need to execute configure with the appropriate
arguments and subsequently you can perform the usual make and make
install. This was no different in previous releases and Dovecot itself.
