How about it installs README file containing: Configuration files go to this directory.

It would be nice to put a text file like "configuration files go here" or something like that, or just no action at all. Or maybe a message at the end of make install procedure. Maybe it's me, but if I find an empty directory in /etc after an installation, the first think I think is that something went wrong.

It's the intended behavior. Dunno if it's the best. Copying example config directly to /etc/dovecot/ doesn't seem such a good idea. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Either you don't create it and leave the task to sysadmin, or if you create it, at least put some examples into it.

Yes it's OK. :-) What would happen, if `make install` would copy all the example files into $SYSCONFDIR/dovecot? It would overwrite your configuration files with the next `make install` command.
