We don't build the userdb on the same host where we use it. In our installation, it's not practical to make the path to the userdb the same on the host where it's built and the host where courier-imap runs. So "--with-userdb" doesn't help us. We could use the symlink trick, but what happens when we want to have a couple of different courier-imap installations with different userdbs? Do we re-create the symlink before building the userdb for each host? What if we want to build userdbs for more than one installation at the same time? This is not scalable.
