You uploaded a patch to the tracker that doesn't work?

I guess my original thoughts with the 'non-root' build were that you
would be compiling vpopmail as a non-root user. I have no problems with
the FHS compliance options.
You cannot use the 'non-root-build' flag for your patch as it is already
used to allow someone to build the package when not the root user.

I wouldn't mind having the FHS as an option during the build, however,
I'd rather it be implemented in a more autotools friendly way where
you can set the individual locations of things like the domains
directory, include directory, etc.
vpopmail currently assumes many of these are subdirectories of it's
home directory. Once that assumption has been taken out of play, it
would work.
So, you'd need options for --enable-bindir=, --enable-etcdir, or what-have-you.
Then, finally, you could have an --enable-fhs-compliant which could
automatically
set these values.
Furthermore, these changes will need to be made against the 5.5 tree. 5.4 is
frozen
with only bug fixes being allowed in.
