I would kill master before doing the make install. If any processes are
running, the make install might not be able to copy over all of the new
binaries ("text file busy" errors).

"userprefix" is optional. By default, the prefix for the other users'
namespace will be "Other Users". In this case, Chris set it to "user"
so it looks the same as the standard namespace (not a bad idea since its
less typing when manipulating accounts with cyradm).
Likewise, the default prefix for the shared namespace is "Shared
Folders". Yes, these are ugly, but I took them straight from RFC2342
for lack of something better.
In my case, I've been using #user and #shared. Note that using the #
character is not recommended by the RFC because it is not IMAP URL
friendly.

Obviously should do this before killing master above.
