I don't like it that makeuserdb operates only on /etc/userdb. What
if I want to put a userdb in /export/config/courier? So I wrote
a patch. With my patch, makeuserdb defaults to its traditional
behavior, but takes an optional "-f filename" argument. My patch
also changes the temporary directory to the directory in which
"filename" resides, again defaulting to /etc.
Mr. Sam, I would greatly appreciate it if you'd consider incorporating
this patch into the courier codebase, or, if you like the idea but not
the style, write your own equivalent patch.
