Well it does obey the prefix, but then things get nested too deep. For
instance, if I do './configure --prefix=/usr/local/' then when you do
'make install', the packages will be deeply nested. So things will go
like this:
/usr/local/lib/courier/courier-authlib/authProg
/usr/local/lib/courier/courier/modules/....

Things are so deeply nested. It follows --prefix but its kinda weird.
But I'm not fixing it so I better stop complaining.

All the other autoconf options that set various installation directories will work. For example, the RPM package gets configured using:

--prefix=/usr/lib/courier --exec-prefix=/usr/lib/courier
--bindir=/usr/lib/courier/bin --sbindir=/usr/lib/courier/sbin
--sysconfdir=/etc/courier --datadir=/usr/lib/courier/share
--includedir=/usr/lib/courier/include --libdir=/usr/lib/courier/lib64
--libexecdir=/usr/lib/courier/libexec --localstatedir=/var/spool/courier
--sharedstatedir=/var/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/lib/courier/share/info
