What I did was just to chmod the appropriate directories and files so
all users could read them. I don't know if it will work properly but
it'll be tested soon enough.
I still find it very strange that that's something that's configured
at compile-time as opposed to run-time.

Dovecot needs to be accessible by other users as this is a sandbox
environment to test an IMAP client we are developing. I don't like
to make installs that are independent of the systems package-
management system.
It would be useful to be able to run Dovecot rootless without
having to make your own build. Also, the location of the ssl-
parameters.dat would change per user since it's in a sandbox
environment for us.
Could you use a symlink as a workaround?
