I prefer that --prefix is the root of the entire package. It is much easier to explode out pieces to /etc, /var etc than it is to corral back in those pieces back into a central place (using configure). I hate being surprised to find that things that are not in the --prefix directory when I use configure. Furthermore, if you make a mistake (or are just trying things out) you can blow away the --prefix directory, re-configure and try again.

Should Binc IMAP in versions 1.2.7 and on, and in 1.3, assume that --prefix is the root of the entire package? If so, please come with suggestions to how the files should be placed by the default behavior of
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
All opinions are appreciated. Notice that this is not sent to binc-dev; I'd like to hear the opinion of our users (and I assume most in dev are also here).
