Re: [Dovecot] v2.0 configuration paths

In Dovecot v2.0 I'm splitting dovecot-example.conf to multiple files. It's probably annoying to have tons of dovecot-*-example.conf files, so what do you think about:

1. Change default sysconfdir from $prefix/etc to $prefix/etc/dovecot (that's what most distros do anyway)

That's a good change.

2. Install *.conf files to $sysconfdir/example/ without the "-example" part in any of the config files.

So new installations would then start with "mv example/* ."

However, I don't think anywhere under /etc is the best place for
example configuration files. I think they belong rather under
/usr/share, though is no big deal if they are elsewhere.
