This is incorrect in numerous ways. First, the argument to "make
makefiles" is CCARGS, not CFLAG. Details DO matter. Second, the
required CCARGS is only "-DUSE_SASL_AUTH". The
'-DDEF_SERVER_SASL_TYPE=\"dovecot\"' is merely to set a default value
for smtpd_sasl_type. Third, how Postfix is or is not compiled has no
bearing at all on how Dovecot SASL works.
