I don't believe there are any squatter specific options that go into 
imapd.conf.  I suspect that the reference you're seeing to squatter 
reading imapd.conf (or other config referenced by -C) is simply for 
squatter to see where the imap spool is (i.e. partition-default), and 
possibly some other environment-specific parameters it needs to know.  
The only options squatter takes are those specified in its man page, and 
those would go in cyrus.conf.

Unless you specify with via mboxcfg to not index a mailbox, or you 
specify a single mailbox on the command line, sieve will index all 
mailboxes by default.

My exact cyrus.conf entry is:

  squatter      cmd="squatter" period=180

And all mailboxes on my (rather small) system are indexed every 3 hours.
