[Dovecot] Default dirs in ./configure?

Hi!
I try to build a new 1.1.7 installation. Since I'm not a large sysadmin, 
just my own private mail server admin, I just wonder why the sysconf and 
state dirs defaults to $prefix? Maybe I'm old-school, but isn't /etc and 
/var, respectively, a better default than /usr/local? Should require two 
new variables in the configure script, though.

(and yes, I know I set them with
   --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatestatedir=/var
)
