I don't know about the latest version, but older versions of Courier's 
configure default cache_file to ./config.cache in the top-level directory.  
configure scripts in the subdirectories get passed --cache-file with a relative 
path (e.g. --cache-file=.././config.cache)  and do load the cache properly.  
Perhaps the cache-file processing in the latest release's configure scripts is 
broken?

Well, that made a huge difference: 105 minutes to run the latest Courier
"configure", as compared to 4-5 hours for when I did it without the
"--cache-file" parameter.

Thank you!

To Sam: could that parameter be made the default in future Courier
releases?
