Hi

I'm doing a network install of Dovecot 1.1.2. All is fine apart from a little annoying mistake I've found:

I do this:

./configure --prefix=/appli/tools_Linux/dovecot/1.1.2 --localstatedir=/var && make && make install

however, since the --localstatedir is equal to a default value, it is still being constructed as "PREFIX/var" for some reason and in effect produces binary with following strings being built-in:

strings dovecot | grep var /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/lib/dovecot /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/run/dovecot /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat var-expand.c var_expand_table_build

So, the question is, is this a bug or my understanding wrong? I just need a network install, using local /var directiories for runtime data. Imagine that I have no write permissions to the installation (--prefix) folder.

If you can reproduce it, this should be it, if you can't let me know to email you all the environment details.
