Nice, just remember the vpopmail 6 pages on the wiki. There are a lot of good changes proposed and this question was discussed there already.

I'm not, and don't want to use It on my patch, but the "non-root-build" flag checks against vpopmail's user and group on the system. You can't add users and groups on build environment system (as you aren't root), You should do that when installing the software.
