When I configure Dovecot to conform to our directory hierarchy, it insists on adding 'dovecot/' to the prefixes I specify. Is there any way to inhibit this?

My configure command is:

./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot --sysconfdir=/etc/opt/dovecot
--libexecdir=/opt/dovecot/libexec --localstatedir=/var/opt/dovecot \ --without-sql-drivers --with-ssl=openssl
--with-ssldir=/etc/opt/dovecot

My problem is with the resulting directories:

/opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot is used instead of /opt/dovecot/libexec /var/opt/dovecot/lib/dovecot is used instead of /var/opt/dovecot/lib /var/opt/dovecot/run/dovecot is used instead of /var/opt/dovecot/run

It seems that Dovecot assumes that libexecdir and localstatedir refer to non-Dovecot-specific directories, and adds 'dovecot/' to the path. Is there any way to avoid this?

In our environment )we use: /opt/XXX Optional software XXX /etc/opt/XXX Configuration for optional software XXX /var/opt/XXX Variable data for optional software XXX (Which makes for easier upgrades)
