I think this is more of what I'd prefer (moving a few executables,

make install installed it, most of it must be necessary). But some
questions:
- will dovecot look for dovecot.conf always in /etc? That is, if
I run configure with:--eprefix=/usr/local/dovecot-bld/<timestamp> --prefix=/usr/local/dovecot-bld/<timestamp>
I guess --eprefix means --exec-prefix? In any case that's not needed,
it defaults to --prefix.
will the executables look to
/usr/local/dovecot-bld/<timestamp>/etc/dovecot.conf
Yes.
- Similarly, will ssl_build_param refer to the IBM OPenSSL
idiosyncratic locations passed through CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS or will
it have dovecot looking for stuff in /usr/local/dovecot-bld/ <timestamp>
CPPFLAGs and LDFLAGS shouldn't affect anything at runtime (except
maybe -R parameter with some linkers to specify library lookup paths).
- Is the location and packaging of dovecot pretty much stable at
this point? By this I mean, will the things I have to update as
Dovecot updates pretty much be constrained to just the files you
mentioned?
Dovecot 2.0 has some new binaries, but before that nothing should
really change.
