So are you saying you'd rather have bincimap.conf.example, or that "make install" overwrites the old files, or that it either installs a default conf file, or if there is one there already, that it installs bincimap.conf.new and reports this to the user? I have to say that I think the last alternative is the best, and it's no different from what Ond�ej Sur� suggests other than the first step. I see no point in "make install" creating a "bincimap.conf.example" if the first thing _everyone_ has to do is to rename the file to "bincimap.conf".
