I don't know if this is the "right" way, but I just pretend my files are 
shell scripts:

* Dovecot.
** dovecot.conf
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle 
~/dropbox/configuration_files/wilkesley.org/dovecot/dovecot.conf 
:exports none :noweb yes
protocols = imap sieve
ssl = yes
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mail2.wilkesley.net.crt
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/mail2.wilkesley.net.key
