Yes and no; in the Wiki:

./configure --with-dovecot=../dovecot

The default is "..", so the default assumes that the source are located in 
a sub-dir of Dovecot (which was mandatory some versions ago).

The Wiki-way works, which is also confusing, because shouldn't it work 
anywhere. So how about to change the default for the dovecot-path to 
'../dovecot', in order to avoid confusion?
