We don't build the userdb on the same host where we use it.
You have a site-specific custom configuration.
The destination directory can currently be set at compile time. I am proposing making this configurable at run-time too. What is the down-side? Who could possibly be harmed by making the software slightly more flexible?
We could use the symlink trick, but what happens when we want to have a couple of different courier-imap installations with different userdbs?
Create different symlinks.
Can you explain exactly how this would work?
Remember: the goal here is to be able to generate distinct userdbs from distinct source files on the same host.
Existing facilities already handle the situation adequately.
How? Unless I misunderstand the directory mechanism, neither of the methods you've suggested is adequate.
