Greetings,

Would it be possible to tweak the install script to set the world-
executable bits on the /usr/local/courier/libexec/courier/webmail directory?

Reason: on my secure server, I have configured ScriptAliases like so:

ScriptAlias /secret-admin/webadmin /usr/local/courier/libexec/courier/
webmail/webadmin
ScriptAlias /tools/webmail /usr/local/courier/libexec/courier/webmail/webmail

However for apache (running non-privileged) to be able to run the cgi
requires a searchable path to the binary.  By default the libexec/
courier/webmail dir is read/exec for root only, so I end up having to do
chmod a+x on the directory after install.

I suppose the response will be that I should be copying those binaries to
somewhere else rather than just pointing apache to them in place, but
why?  It makes maintenance easier if they are auto-updated to the latest
versions by virtue of simply being installed.
