Summary: quote errors in configure scripts
Description:
In the following snippet from configure, you will see that "${prefix}"
won't be expanded (under bash, anyway) because of the single quotes.
if test "x$localstatedir" = 'x${prefix}/var'; then
DM_STATEDIR='/var/run'
else
DM_STATEDIR=$localstatedir
fi
if test "x$sysconfdir" = 'x${prefix}/etc'; then
DM_CONFDIR='/etc'
else
DM_CONFDIR=$sysconfdir
fi

Whoops. I got that wrong. I made the change I thought was going to solve
the problem and just made it worse. I don't know enough about
configure/make to sort this out.
It looks like sysconfdir should default to /usr/local/etc. It ends up
being /etc/
Changing the single to double quote leaves me with the compiled program
looking for the literal string "${prefix}/etc/dbmail.conf"
