I have noticed something about the way Courier-imap's filesystem is laid
out: the --datadir directory contains a mixture of admin scripts (e.g.
userdb, mkimapdcert) and SSL data files (e.g. imapd.pem, imapd.rand)

ISTM that they belong in different places: the first as part of the package
itself, with those files upgraded as the package is upgraded; the second as
part of the machine's configuration and state, independent of the package
version.

So I'd like to make a suggestion that they are separated out. Perhaps the
SSL data files could go in --localstatedir or --sysconfdir, or else the
scripts could move to --sbindir (into which they are symlinked anyway)

[Actually you can override this in the current snapshot with
'make install databindir=/path/to/somewhere', but I think it would be
cleaner to separate these files at autoconf level]

Cheers,

Brian.
