Default Best Adhesive And Filler For Fixing Old Dovetails?

I need to repair a couple of drawers that have dried out dovetail joints. 2
drawers, maybe 16 pins.

I don't need anything like a full West Systems kit of epoxy and filler, but
I need something other than straight wood glue to fill in the gaps.

I could try wood glue and sawdust, but I'm wondering if there is something
better/neater.


Make shims for the pins to fill if they've shrunk, don't just try to
fill. Pictures would help...
