What I do when installing is write my own configuration shell script, something like
the following (for sqwebmail):
#!/bin/sh
./configure \
--enable-webpass=vpopmail \
--enable-hardtimeout=300 \
--enable-autopurge=30 \
--enable-cgibindir=/home/www/navarcles/cgi-bin/webmail \
--enable-imagedir=/home/www/navarcles/mail_img \
--enable-imageurl=http://www.navarcles.com/mail_img/ \
--enable-bannerprog=/home/www/navarcles/cgi-bin/banners.cgi \
Save it as ~/program/config.sh, chmod it to 755 and run it.
Then when there's an upgrade, read the changes file to see if there's anything you
might want to add or take away, then run the same config.sh.
