This is mostly for developers of custom authentication modules.  Some of the 
stock authentication modules in Courier-IMAP are also capable of setting 
MAILDIR: authldap, authmysql, authpgsql, and authuserdb.  That is, when 
using LDAP, MySQL, Postgres, or userdb authentication a non-default maildir 
location may be specified.  There is no equivalent information available in 
/etc/passwd, hence modules that use the system password file (authpwd, 
authshadow, authpam), cannot set MAILDIR.
