dovecot - Jun 2005 - Problem with configure.in in dovecot-stable CVS

I am having trouble with using dovecot-stable from CVS. I get the 
following error when running autogen.sh:

configure.in: 4: required file `./[config.h].in' not found

I see the config.h.in file in the root dir, but I cannot figure out what 
the brackets are for. If I modify the file and remove the brackets, it 
works properly and I can compile dovecot.

What are the brackets in the name for? Am I breaking something by 
removing them?

Thanks,

Which autoconf version are you using?
Try using a recent one such as 2.57 or 2.59.

I think the problem is just that you have too old autoconf version 
(2.13?). Although I thought there would have been other problems with 
older autoconf versions too..
