dovecot - Nov 2013 - Enabling quota

Hello everybody.
Sorry if this has been answered before, I just could not find any info. 
Just point me if that is so.

Can somebody please explain why there is no option --with-quota (ot may 
be --with-fs-quota)
for the configure command?

As it stands now, at least for the fs back-end the only thing that tells 
us that
Dovecot does not do quotas is after the build/configuration we get

dovecot: imap(xxdxx): Error: quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA, 
csfs9.cs.ucy.ac.cy:/mail) failed: No such file or directory

which essentially means that during the build no quota development 
libraries were found
and therefore fs quota will not function. This is rather confusing and 
the above error does not help much.
Note also that "dovecot --build-options" is also silent on this.
I suppose other back-ends do not have this requirement since there is no 
need for such devel libraries.

thankx
Andreas

in which development library your system needs? I thought that error 
message means, that the file "csfs9.cs.ucy.ac.cy:/mail" does not exist
(or
that there is no quota there).
